Have you ever been to Nashville, Tenessee? I haven’t, but I’ve always heard great things about the music and the food! I’ll be heading to Nashville for the very first time for the Rock ‘n Roll Nashville Half Marathon, and I can’t wait!
Whenever I travel to a new city, call me crazy, but I look for the best restaurants and the best places to run! That’s why I’m excited to share the Nashville Notes Runner’s Guide that was put together by Bibrave and Brooks!
I’m linking up with Kim and Zenaida for Tuesday Topics, and Debbie, Marc, and Rachel for the Running Coaches Corner.
Nashville Notes: A Runner’s Guide to Music City
Brooks Running has partnered with Bibrave to create this fantastic guide for runners in Nashville, just in time for those heading to Rock ‘n Roll race weekend! There are recommendations for attractions, food and drink, and Instagram-worthy photo ops, of course! The detailed Google Map is below!
Shakeout Runs in Nashville
I’m super excited to get a great tour of the city during Rock ‘n Roll Nashville, but I’ll actually be in town for a few extra days for a work conference, so I’d love to find a place to escape for a run outdoors! Nashville Notes provides three recommendations in their guide:
- Shelby Bottoms – surrounded by nature with 5 miles of trails and paved paths (see pic above!)
- Centennial Park – a nice short trail with views of the Parthenon
- Cumberland River Bicentennial Trail – a trail running through lush forests, about 30 mins outside of the city
I wish I could visit them all! I’m a sucker for trail running and these look like amazing places to run!
Nashville Notes Scavenger Hunt
I’m excited to share that you can have an opportunity to win a pair of Brooks Glycerin 17! I recently reviewed them on the blog!
During Rock ‘n’ Roll Nashville race weekend, April 25th through the 29th, use the Nashville Notes: a Runner’s Guide to Music City Google Map (above) to explore the city. If you visit one of the locations on the guide, post a pic of your visit on Twitter or Instagram (Instagram Stories are not eligible) using #BrooksNashNotes and you’ll be entered to win a pair of Brooks Glycerin 17. A winner will be selected at random and notified on May 3rd!
More Recommendations!
This is only the tip of the iceberg for fun things to do in Nashville. You can check out the map above or the Nashville Notes Pinterest Board for even more ideas. There are also some great tips from my fellow Bibrave Pros Ken and Amy! I can’t wait to see it all for myself!
Have you ever visited Nashville? Any suggestions that I missed that you’d like to share?
I’ve never been to Nashville but I’d love to someday. I think running is the best way to explore a new city! And eating comes in a close second. 🙂
I’m excited to see all that Nashville has to offer! Running and eating – 2 of my favorite things!
Nashville sounds like such a great city – I cant wait to visit in June! Like you, I always research the best restaurants when I travel to a new city 🙂
I hope you have a great time when you visit! I live on Yelp whenever I travel LOL, I’m still trying to figure out the best places to eat in addition to the Guide’s suggestions!
I had no idea this feature from BibRave even existed. Thanks for sharing. I usually look for the best places to run and eat when I visit a new town too! Good luck in Nashville. I was there once a long time ago with my family and would love to go back with just hubby and me – no kids!
They have done guides like this for other cities as well! They did one for Seattle not too long ago. Thanks, Laurie – I hope I have a blast in Nashville!
I actually HAVE been to Nashville before – it was for a wedding… However, the weekend we were there – THE MARATHON was happening, ha! So funny you should bring up Nashville and racing! The only marathon I did in Nashville though was… EATING – hahahahahaha!
LOL – I am all for some good eats! I hope to eat well in Nashville 🙂
Definitely on my bucket list! Looks like such a fun city to run and play in. Hope you have an amazing time
This guide is so cool! I hope you have a great time in Nashville!
Thanks, Nicole!
Nashville is on my bucket list. Thanks for the tips.
Of course I would run and race there.
RnR Nashville is definitely on my bucket list! I had a bit too much happening this year to make it happen (and the Rock-n-Blog thing went bust for me LOL). Hope you have a grand time!!
Thanks, Kim! Hopefully you can try this one out next year!
This is great! Ill definitely be passing this along to my Nashville friends
How fun! This is a great resource 🙂 I hope you have a great time in Nashville, it’s definitely high on my list to do a race there some day.
Oh, very fun! i have never been to Nashville, but I would love to see all those murals and hang on it the city. One day!
So cool you’re a part of the Brooks and Bibrave community. It looks like a great opportunity to spread your knowledge!
Awww man, we were just in Nashville last month! I will hang on to this blog post for reference, I think we are going back in the fall!
This is such a great guide! Nashville is one ofmy favorite cities!! I love running there too, some many great sights to see 🙂
Nashville is one of my favorite cities!
The RNR race is also really fun! I ran it back in 2010 with the massive storms, which made it really interesting!
Hope you have a great race and fun in Nashville!
Have a great time in Nashville! I’ve been there 2 or 3 times. The last time when I ran RnR Nashville. It rained the entire race and I was miserable. Oh and it was hilly too, therefore not a great combo. Those trails look pretty! Maybe one day I can go again!
As you know, i visited Nashville last fall (not to run) and had a blast! I’m sure you’ll have so much fun this weekend! Let me know what you think of the BBQ and the beer!
I love running in new places! And it’s so great you get a few extra days there too to explore! Travel safely and have lots of fun!
