President 7k Run

5th Annual 7th President 7K Run

The event is held on the grounds of Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage in Nashville, using routes that pass historic sites and varied terrain. The course runs across paved paths, open fields, grass, a small portion of trail, and some paved road. Along the route are Tulip Grove Mansion, Hermitage Church, and The Hermitage Mansion at the finish.

Distances:

• 7K run across mixed surfaces and scenic grounds
• 2-mile walk that follows portions of the main route

Entry information and race services include a registration fee of $40. The first 300 registrants receive a custom medal and a Grounds Pass to The Hermitage valid through October 17, 2027. Registrations made by September 14, 2026 also receive a commemorative race T-shirt. Timing is not chip-timed; a rolling time clock will be provided. Prizes will be awarded to the overall male and female winners.

Participant notes: strollers are not recommended due to unpaved sections and, if used, should start at the back. Dogs are not allowed on the course during the event; leashed dogs are welcome when using the included Grounds Pass after the event and must be cleaned up by their owners.
