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!

Our viewers are the best! When Hannah McDonald highlighted the plight of Serenity Sumler, so many of you immediately stepped up. Serenity stopped to help a driver after spotting a wreck and was hit by another car, resulting in terrible injuries. Without the funds to pay for physical therapy, she was at a loss. Because of the kindness of others - she now can rehab and get back to school. Best of luck to her as she trains to become a chef!
