Runners in the Saint Jude Rock 'n' Roll Marathon will be picking up packets today

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Thousands of runners are heading to Nashville for the biggest race of the year.

The Saint Jude Rock 'n' Roll Marathon is this Saturday.

And today I wanted to let you know why you'll see a lot of folks over at Music City Center!

It's the first day that runners can pick up their packets! That's open from noon to 4 p.m. or you can head over there tomorrow between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. if that works better for you.

The race is Saturday. The 5 and 10K's hit the pavement at 6:30 and the marathon and half start at 7:20.

If you're planning on driving anywhere near downtown this weekend, be sure to follow our traffic guide!

Hermitage clinic for disabled patients set to close, cites loss of funding

I'm so thankful Robb Coles highlighted the Kamer Davis clinic in Hermitage and the hardship that may force its closure. The clinic provides care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and there is no other place like it nearby. You can tell the staff is so passionate about the care they provide. I hope by shining the light on this, the right person can step in and make a difference.
