About the Shelby Bottoms Boogie 15K Run and 5K Run/Walk
Both courses start and finish in the same spot inside Shelby Park, with the longer route extending out along the Shelby Bottoms Greenway. The greenway is paved and mostly flat, running through a natural area east of downtown Nashville. It is a fall race, and the tree cover along the greenway makes for a decent morning run when the weather cooperates.
Parking on site is free and described as ample. Packet pickup opens early on race morning, well before the start. Hydration is available at the start and finish area, and the longer course has water on the route as well. Post-race snacks are set up at the finish.
