‘A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS 5K/10K’ (Nashville, TN)

A Charlie Brown Christmas 5K/10K (Nashville, TN) comes to Nashville, Tennessee, on December 12, 2026, as part of the national Peanuts Event Series. Two distances are on the program: the 10K at 7:15 a.m. and the 5K at 7:30 a.m. Each participant receives a Peanuts medal, a technical shirt, and a race bib, and Santa himself makes a special appearance. The field is capped at 1,500 spots, which keeps the atmosphere lively and the start manageable. After the race, you can grab something to eat and celebrate your finish alongside the other runners.

Runners of every level are welcome here, from walkers to those chasing a fast December time. The 10K works well as a late-season fitness check: give yourself 6 to 8 weeks with a weekly longer run and one tempo session, and you will be ready to hold a steady pace. The 5K is a friendly first race or a quick, festive effort you can enjoy with friends and family before the holidays.
