The Country Music Marathon is a beloved Nashville institution that blends running with live music, turning a weekend into a celebration of endurance, community, and Southern hospitality. Since its 2000 origins as the Country Music Marathon in downtown Nashville, this event has grown into a multi-distance race weekend featuring a marathon, half marathon, 10K, 5K, 1-mile options, and family-friendly elements like KiDS ROCK and a Doggie Dash. In 2015, the event joined the Rock ’n’ Roll Running Series, rebranding to Rock ’n’ Roll Nashville Marathon while keeping the same spirit of live entertainment and charitable impact.
