“It’s a flat course that starts at Shelter No. 3 at the CB Robinson Bridge [Tennessee Riverwalk],” race director Jane Webb said of the course. “The race course runs 1.6 miles toward downtown and turns around and runs back. There’s a water stop at the turn with cheerleaders.”
She said the fastest runner should complete the 5K in 16 minutes, although it typically takes her 30 minutes.
