Thursday Before the Marathon

Thursday Before Marathon Saturday

Trim your toenails - Don't do it the morning of a race, when a too-short cut could prompt bleeding during the race. An improperly trimmed toenail can also catch part of a sock or push against the front of running shoes and prompt blisters.

Find a New Race to Do!! Don’t let your current fitness go to waste or waist. Having a new goal will make all the difference. Go crush a 5K or 10K, or find your next endurance event…. Do something! Hire a Coach to take you to the next level, or make your new plan. The possibilities are endless. Sign up today.  

Packet Pick Up at the Nashville Convention Center (attached to the Renaissance Hotel) Marathon Expo  11am – 6pm. Make sure to pick up your packet this day, Friday is a MadHouse! You can pick up your packet on Friday, but I suggest picking it up Thursday to avoid the crowds.  Also allow yourself some time to walk around, it is a great expo.

Must have photo ID & confirmation card (confirmation was sent by mail)

Eat Carbs and Drink Plenty of Water

Spectator Info

            Belmont Blvd and Wedgewood is a good location to watch, as runners pass by there twice. With the new course, you will only see them one tim on Belmont if you are not at the Wedgewood intersection. Music Row is also a good location to watch as runners go up 17^th and back down 16^th.

            You can meet your family and friends at the Family Reunion Area at the Coliseum, near the Finish.

Coach Christopher McClintock 

"Sometimes we learn the hard way that it doesn't pay to get discouraged. Positive thinking is an intellectual choice, and by keeping our eyes focused on the light of optimism, we can restore faith in ourselves, and stay clear of the shadows."
