The Community Foundation

The 8th 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 one of the best post-race festivals in Nashville. A buffet breakfast will be served, plus fantastic live music, giveaways, and fun activities for the kids including face painting, giant inflatables, an appearance by Shoney Bear and so much more.

Lace up your sneakers and join in the excitement!
