Add Review/Comment

With over 25,000 participants, 50 live bands, hundreds of cheerleaders, and thousands of spectators, this is one amazing racing event you don't want to miss! Let the beat pulse through your every step and Run Music City!

The 9th annual Country Music Marathon & 1/2 Marathon will start in Centennial Park and run through Nashville's most scenic sights. Country, rock, jazz, blues, swing and more will pulsate every mile on the course. Music will continue into the night as the Nashville Arena in downtown Nashville hosts another incredible post-race concert. This year's concert will feature Steve “the Colonel” Cropper and Friends as well as up and coming country act, Lady Antebellum.

    How Nashville's Sports Authority can let Elite Racing have this bill represent the "Music City" is beyond my ability to comprehend. It's a textbook example of what happens when a corporate event company uses music as a marketing tool for their event without knowing anything about, err... music. In a city of innumerable talents Elite chooses to bring in a Memphis artist with nominal name recognition and negligible ties to country music (psssst... it's the "Country Music Marathon"). The show was average at best, helped greatly by energetic openers Lady Antebellum, and the poor attendance reflected the lackluster bill. Come on Elite - and Nashville Sports Authority - you have to do better than this. This is embarrassing for everyone concerned. Collapse
