Thin Mint Sprint 5K - Nashville

Thin Mint Sprint 5K - Nashville is a road 5K in Nashville, Tennessee, on March 6, 2027, starting at 9:00 AM. It is the event's only format, and it is a Girl Scouts race, which sets the tone: a field mixing families, first-timers and local club runners rather than a purely competitive lineup.

That mix makes it a friendly place to try the distance for the first time, and a relaxed one to run alongside kids who are ready for 3.1 miles. Line up according to your realistic pace so the quicker runners are not weaving through the first quarter mile. For a serious attempt, put in a couple of sessions at goal pace in the fortnight before — four repetitions of 1,000 meters is a classic — and hold the opening mile a few seconds slower than you feel like running it. For everyone else, a steady jog with walk breaks gets the job done.
