Country Music Marathon
Music City takes to the streets in aid of charity each year when
thousands of runners descend on the city to run the Country Music
Marathon (or a half marathon), vying for trophies and prizes. The
runners are encouraged by the strains of more than 50 bands belting
out their best from about two dozen stages set up along the
marathon route. The day also includes the spectacle of a
cheerleading contest and the final of a Kid’s Marathon. It
all ends up with a massive evening concert featuring a top country
music star, with free entry for runners.
Venue: The marathon begins near Centennial Park in West End Avenue, continues through downtown and finishes at the Coliseum;
Date: 24 April 2010;
