Mercy Children’s Clinic
The Mercy Children’s Clinic Franklin Classic is one of the oldest and most popular races and community events in Middle Tennessee. Last year the event attracted more than 3000 participants and another 3-5,000 on-lookers.
Even if you don’t run or walk, come down to the square and take part in the celebration including FREE KidZone, live music, celebrity appearances and register to win a Brand New Honda Fit to be given away at the grand opening of new Mercy Children’s Clinic loation.
Proceeds from the Franklin Classic support Mercy Children’s Clinic and is our largest fundraising effort. With an annual budget of nearly $2.5 million, 50% of which is raised through sponsors and donations, we’re hoping to raise $150,000 through this years event.
We are proud to offer certified 5K and 10K courses. ChampionChip Timing is provided by the Nashville Striders. The course maps are below.
