President 7k Run

Event overview

The 5th Annual 7th President 7K Run takes place on Saturday, October 17, 2026, at Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage in Nashville, TN (4580 Rachel’s Lane, 37076). The event includes a 7K run and a 2-mile walk on the historic grounds of the Hermitage. Timing is not chip-timed; a rolling time clock will be provided. The event is held rain or shine and all registrations are final.

Course and logistics

The course is described as cross-country with paved paths, open fields, grass, a small portion of trail, and some paved road. Notable on-course landmarks include Tulip Grove Mansion, Hermitage Church (built in 1824), and the Hermitage Mansion, which serves as the finish area. Strollers are not recommended due to unpaved sections; if used, they should start at the back of the group. Dogs are not allowed on the course during the race; leashed dogs are permitted on the grounds afterward when using an included Grounds Pass.

Packet pick-up is available the day before at Fleet Feet Mt. Juliet and on race day at Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage. The first 300 registrants receive a custom medal and a Grounds Pass valid through October 17, 2027. Registrations completed by September 14, 2026, include a commemorative race T-shirt. Prizes will be awarded to the overall male and female winners. Parking access is via the Old Hickory Blvd entrance; volunteers and signage will direct participants.
