2025 Nashville Half Marathon & 5K Celebrates Every Runner’s ‘Time to Shine’
Starting outside First Horizon Park, runners took off under a crisp fall sunrise, weaving past some of the city’s most iconic landmarks. From the sounds of music along the course to the cheers of supporters lining the streets, every step embodied the vibrancy and community pride that make this event a must-run on the fall race calendar.
In the Half Marathon, Casey Bohrer claimed the overall men’s title with a time of 1:12:45, while Lydia Grady led the women’s division, finishing in 1:22:38. In the 5K, Matthew Grundy (17:27) and Elsa Steer (18:29) took first place in their respective divisions, rounding out an exciting morning of racing in Music City.
Runners celebrated their finish inside First Horizon Park, where they received their well-earned medals and enjoyed the post-race party featuring local vendors, recovery stations, and plenty of photo ops on the field. Recovery partners included HealthSource, Spine & Sport, Honky Tonk Sauna, StretchLab, and Fast Pickle — providing post-race support to help runners feel their best.
The weekend also featured the return of MoveFit presented by Dani D. Fitness, a body-positive warm-up experience designed to inspire confidence and strength before the race. “It’s about showing up for yourself and celebrating what your body can do,” said Dani D. “That’s what the Nashville Half Marathon is all about — finding your shine.”
Race organizers expressed their appreciation to the runners, volunteers, sponsors, and community partners who make the event possible each year. “Seeing the streets of Nashville filled with runners is what keeps us inspired,” said Malain McCormick, Event Director. “This city knows how to celebrate, and every finisher truly had their time to shine today.”
The Nashville Half Marathon & 5K will return on October 24, 2026. Registration details and race weekend updates will be available soon at www.RunNash.com.
