General Event Information:
The Franklin Classic is one of the oldest and most popular races and community events in Middle Tennessee. Last year the event attracted more than 3,000 participants and another 3,000-5,000 on-lookers. Even if you don’t run or walk, come down to the square and take part in the celebration including a FREE KidZone, celebrity appearances, and live music.
Proceeds from the Franklin Classic support Mercy Children’s Clinic and is our largest fundraising effort. With an annual budget of nearly $3 million, 50% of which is raised through sponsors and donations, we’re hoping to raise $150,000 through this year’s event.
We are proud to offer certified 5K and 10K courses. ChampionChip Timing is provided by the Nashville Striders. The course maps are below.
