Join us on Saturday, December 3, at 8 am in Nissan Stadium/East Bank Landing.

RUDOLPH LIGHTS THE WAY ONCE AGAIN

Rudolph’s Red Nose Run is music city’s most festive 5K. For more than 30 years, elves, grinches, and scores of sugar plum fairies have run, walked, and made merry in downtown Nashville, TN to light the way for the Nashville Christmas Parade.

But last year, that extra cheer was absent. As downtown grew, traffic and safety concerns caused the 5K and parade to move from their traditional first Friday in December schedule.

But in 2016, parade-goers will once again be treated to antlers, tutus, and red noses passing by as they eagerly await Santa’s arrival. Thanks to the efforts of Metro police, parks, and public works, as well as parade host Piedmont Natural Gas, Rudolph’s very shiny race will delight crowds once again.

This frosty 5K isn’t just for fun. Runners and walkers join together in the cold to help keep their neighbors warm this winter. Proceeds benefit NeedLink Nashville, which helps nearly 2,000 local families and seniors avoid homelessness and stay connected to critical utility services every year.

RACE HEADQUARTERS LOCATION
Race HQ is at East Bank Landing, between Nissan Stadium and the Bridge Building.
