Nashville Urban Runoff 5K and Water Quality Festival : August 1, 2026
The event combines a chip-timed 5 km run/walk with a Water Quality Festival at Shelby Bottoms Park and Greenway, 1900 Davidson St., Nashville. The course passes Sevier Lake and runs near the silver melting bird statue, highlighting green stormwater management practices.
The festival features children’s activities and hands-on education about clean water and green infrastructure. The race is scheduled to proceed regardless of weather. Registration information and packet pickup are provided in advance; an early packet pickup is scheduled the day before the race near the silver melting bird at Shelby Bottoms Park, and race day packet pickup is available.
Registration opens April 1, 2026, and the registration period closes August 2, 2026. The registration fee is $40. Registration includes a t-shirt or swag bag and a participation medal; exact t-shirt size and medal cannot be guaranteed for registrations completed after July 1. Race timing uses chip timing.
The organizer’s refund policy states that no refunds will be issued, but registrations may be transferred to another participant. Race day registration is available via phone through a provided QR code. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
