From the organizer

On Saturday April 4th, the 20th Annual Richland Creek Run will lead participants along a certified five-mile course through sections of the historic Sylvan Park neighborhood and along the Richland Creek Greenway. Net proceeds from this event benefit Greenways for Nashville , a non-profit organization dedicated to creating, preserving, and promoting a system of greenways in Nashville and Davidson County.

The 5 mile run will begin at 8 a.m. outside of The Cohn Learning Center, 4805 Park Avenue , and wind through parts of Sylvan Park before heading onto the Richland Creek Greenway and finishing back at Cohn. Dogs and strollers are permitted during the race. The 1 mile fun run will begin at approximately 8:05am at the same location. The races will be held rain or shine and all 5 mile participants will receive a t-shirt.

The Dinky Dash begins at 7:30 a.m. and is a fun run for children ages 12 and under. The dash is a half-mile, out and back course that begins at the Cohn School. It is a great way to introduce young children to a fun run atmosphere. Popsicles are provided after for the kiddos!
