About the Craig Morgan's Veterans Day 5K
The course runs near the Grand Ole Opry House, one of the more distinctive backdrops you will find for a road race in Nashville. The event is built around Veterans Day weekend and has a ceremony before the start that recognizes veterans, with music and activities after the finish. Prizes go to the fastest men and women overall, masters finishers, and age group leaders.
Race-morning registration and packet pickup open before the start, so you do not need to sort anything out the day before. A post-race celebration follows the awards, and there are VIP options available for those who want a more involved experience, including a meet-and-greet with Craig Morgan.
