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!
This is a story I immediately went home and showed my boys - young athletes with big dreams. The Vanderbilt football team's success has stolen the spotlight - what I love about Steve Layman's story is he reveals the individual hardships it took to get there. As Clark Lea says, "we all have scuff marks." This team proves perseverance pays off!
