Race-morning weather history
Late April in Middle Tennessee is the warm-and-humid end of the spring calendar (typical start ~57F at 84% humidity, highs ~76F; 2026 ran hot). Spring convection is the live risk, though no edition is on record as stopped for weather. 2020 cancelled; 2021 displaced to November. Wyndo tracks what this calendar slot has actually served up at the start hour — temperature, dew point, wind, and rain — including the years when weather canceled or disrupted the race, and reads the live forecast for the start once the race confirms its schedule and race week arrives.

Race facts
- Start line
- Broadway at 8th Avenue, downtown Nashville; point-to-point finishing on Titans Way at Nissan Stadium across the Cumberland. Coordinates are the OSM intersection node — the corral stack extends west up Broadway. The 5K/10K start ~200 m south is a different line.
- Traditional start (not confirmed for 2027)
- 7:20 AM (America/Chicago) — Carried from 2026 — official race-week page: '2027 final information will be available closer to race weekend'. Official 2026 road-closure brochure: marathon & half 7:20 AM CT on Broadway at 8th Ave; the 6:30 AM gun two blocks away (Demonbreun at 8th) is the separate 5K/10K, NOT an earlier marathon wave. No wheelchair/elite gun published; corral detail ships via the series app at race week.
- Field size
- 2026 marathon finishers per FindMyMarathon (aggregator); marathon-only — the half, 10K, 5K and Sunday events together dwarf it.
- Registration
- open (Rock 'n' Roll Running Series price tiers; Remix/Tour Pass bundles; St. Jude charity entries)
