3 upcoming Half Marathon races found · 1 with finish-time stats
Nashville half marathons tend to feel like the city itself: social, a little bit country, and genuinely welcoming. Post-run culture here is woven into the fabric of neighborhoods like East Nashville and The Nations, where greenways drop you practically at the door of a taproom or coffee counter. Races here lean into that same energy.
The Cumberland River Greenway and Shelby Bottoms give the city some genuinely scenic stretches of pavement for race routes, while the Warner Parks system sits on the southwest side for anyone craving hills and trees. Whether your half marathon takes you riverside or through neighborhood streets, you are running a city that actually pays attention to its running community.
By the numbers
The Nashville races that stand out on the numbers: the biggest field, and the longest unbroken run of editions.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
Entry fees here range from $14.99 to $22. None of the 3 races currently have a price increase scheduled, so what you see now is what you pay. All 3 say they give a shirt, and none of them mention a medal.
Fall is the busiest stretch, with 2 races running between September and November. The third lands in spring, with the Nashville St. Paddy's Half Marathon, 10K & 5K on March 6, 2027. If your training block peaks in autumn, you have the best selection of dates to choose from.
The one Nashville half marathon with published finish results is the Spooky Sprint- Nashville, which drew a field of 386 and returned a median finish time of 38:43 - though that figure is for the 5K distance at that event, not the half marathon leg. There are no published half marathon finish times in this set to benchmark against, so the field pacing is genuinely unknown from what is publicly available here.
All 3 Nashville races pair the half marathon with a 5K and 10K, so you can bring along a friend or family member running a shorter distance. The Golden Harvest Half Marathon & 5K/10K - Nashville and Spooky Sprint- Nashville also include a 1 Mile and a 50-meter option, making them genuinely multi-distance events. Nashville St. Paddy's Half Marathon, 10K & 5K adds a 100-meter distance.
