Nashville Music Dash

Race Info

The Nashville Music Dash is a celebration of Nashville’s heartbeat — music, movement, and community. Whether you run, walk, or groove your way across the finish line, you’ll be part of something bigger: helping bring music education to kids who need it most. This community-driven 5K event is dedicated to supporting music programs in underfunded schools across Nashville. Join us for a day of fun, fitness, and philanthropy as we run together to enrich the lives of our students through the POWER of MUSIC!

Every stride helps support music programs in under-resourced schools. Your participation funds instruments, sheet music, accessories, and opportunities for students to experience the joy and creativity of music. Because when every child can play, the whole city sings.

Set in scenic Shelby Park, this event promises an exciting experience for participants of all ages and fitness levels. You don't have to run, you can walk, you can watch, you can cheer, you can donate, you can sponsor, and you can volunteer! However you decide to participate, you're going to be making a difference in the lives of kids!

The race will be chip timed. You will receive a finisher's medal and a gorgeous T-shirt. If you register by April 15th, you get to select the color shirt you receive.

Prizes will be awarded to overall male & female winners and top 3 in age groups. Age groups are 14 & Under, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60 & Up. The top team will be awarded the Mountain Maestro Trophy!
