The Community Foundation

The 7th Annual Shoney’s 5K Family Fun Run & Festival is open to the public, and proceeds will benefit the Metropolitan Nashville Police Support Fund of The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. The Fund is designed to support employee development and training for the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department; to support projects to strengthen relations between the police department and the Nashville community; and to assist in securing equipment that enhances service to the community.

The run provides a unique opportunity for the community to take a break from their busy schedule, exercise as a family, meet new friends, renew health and fitness goals, and have fun! Participants will enjoy either running or walking a scenic loop around historic downtown Nashville, followed by the awards ceremony and fun festival. Lace up your sneakers and join in the excitement!

After the run, there will be a fun festival and kids’ zone with FREE activities for the kids located next to LP Field in Lot T at Victory Avenue, adjacent to the Shelby Street Bridge.

Activities will include giant inflatables, face painting, a balloon artist, and an appearance by Shoney Bear®, and much more! Our friends at the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department will also be bringing a police cruiser, members of their S.W.A.T. and Bomb teams, one of their helicopters, and their K-9 unit!
