Beautiful paved trail course outside the city overlooking two rivers. Great views. Some really big hills and I ran this sick so was just not up for them on this day. Course support was good. Swag was great – medal, hoodie, giant sugar cookie and pint glass!

The race was held on March12, the previous evening three inches of snow fell, and the starting temperatures were in the twenties with 30mph winds. As a result, only the hard core showed up. The results show only 60% showed. The trails were snowy and very icy. I realized early on that this was not going to be a fast race. Running on icy surfaces requires a bit of caution.
The support during the race was not great, Some water stations were barely manned. In spite of all of this, I actually had a good time. On a typical March day in Nashville I would expect it to be much nicer and scenic.
If you are looking for a smaller race in the Nashville area, it is one to consider.
