FAQ
What are the most popular Tennessee half marathons?
The most popular Tennessee half marathon is the St. Jude Rock ‘n’ Roll Nashville Half Marathon with 13,805 finishers in 2023. Followed by the St. Jude Memphis Half Marathon with 6,984 finishers in 2023.
What are the best Tennessee half marathons for beginners in 2026?
The Tennessee half marathons we recommend most frequently as the best for beginners are:
The St. Jude Rock ‘n’ Roll Nashville Half Marathon: Bigger is usually better for beginners. More crowds, more cheers, more aid stations. This one in particular is packed with Nashville live music at every turn and a course that takes runners through the iconic Nashville locations like Broadway, Music Row, The Gulch, and the n Music Hall of Fame.
Great Smoky Mountains Half Marathon: The Smoky Mountains are the most visited National Park in the United States. While this race is on an “open course,” meaning runners share the roads with cars, it’s a beautiful course with fun finisher experiences like a s’mores station.
Oak Barrel Half Marathon: A course through Moore County Tennessee the Jack Daniel’s Distillery. Not a course for a personal best, but a really fun experience with a Water Station Contest, Whiskey Hill, and grilled cheese and hoe cakes at the finish.
