About

The Sickle Cell Warrior Walk & Run 5K is a family-friendly 5K run/walk (3.1 miles) held each year in Nashville by the Breaking The Sickle Cell Cycle Foundation, Inc. On September 18, 2027, the 5K starts at 9:00 a.m., followed by a 1-mile fun walk at 9:05 a.m.

The event raises awareness of sickle cell disease, a genetic blood disorder that disproportionately affects minority populations but can occur in anyone. It aims to educate the community and encourage people to know their sickle cell status so they can make informed health decisions. Participants receive commemorative medals and T-shirts, and cash awards go to the top runners in several age groups.
