Course & Travel Notes
The Nashville Turkey Trot takes place at 495 feet elevation, which is low enough that altitude adjustment shouldn't be a concern for most runners. Sunrise occurs at 6:34 AM on race day, well before the 8:15 AM start time, so you'll have good daylight for the beginning of your run. Expect typical November weather with highs around 62°F and lows near 37°F, so dress in layers you can shed as you warm up during the race. Nashville International Airport (BNA) is conveniently located just 4.2 miles from the venue, making it easy to get to the race from your arrival.
