The Music City Turkey Trot is a Thanksgiving Day running event held at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee. The event features a 5K run/walk and a 1 Mile Waddle and takes place on and around the stadium grounds. Registration includes a race bib, timing, a commemorative participant shirt, and a finisher medal.

  • 5K run/walk
  • 1 Mile Waddle

The event is dog friendly; leashes are required. Organizers offer a Doggie Dash add-on so canine participants can receive their own bib, medal, and bandana. Packet pickup is offered on two days prior to the event with locations at Dick’s Sporting Goods in Mt. Juliet and West Nashville; identification matching the registrant is required if someone else picks up a packet.

Free parking is available in lots G, M, and R at Nissan Stadium. The race supports local charities, including STARS, which provides school based mental health and substance use services for youth.

Awards are distributed for top finishers across overall and multiple age categories, plus a top three costume contest. There is no formal awards ceremony; awards must be picked up at the timing tent and will not be mailed. Registration fees are non refundable and non transferable.
