Love Running With My Dog - 2013 Race
By: Jennifer Cobb - (Taft, TN)
GREAT RACE! Flat course with plenty of trees around for a break from the sun and heat. Well organized. It is wonderful to have a race that will allow your pet, that practices with you everyday. They also provide water for the dogs and as well as the owners. MTSU is a beautiful campus.

Loved the race - 2012 Race
By: Teri H. - (Joelton, TN)
I have run 4 of the last 5 races!
I love it!!! The people are organized, friendly and the booths are always good. The track around the hotel is a variety of flat and inclines. Everyone needs to come out and support this 5k.
