On Saturday April 16th, the 16th Annual Richland Creek Run will lead participants along a certified five-mile course through sections of the historic Sylvan Park neighborhood and along the Richland Creek Greenway. Net proceeds from this event benefit Greenways for Nashville, a non-profit organization dedicated to creating, preserving, and promoting a system of greenways in Nashville and Davidson County.

The run will begin at 8 a.m. outside of The Cohn Learning Center, 4805 Park Avenue, and wind through parts of Sylvan Park before heading onto the Richland Creek Greenway and finishing back at Cohn. Dogs and strollers are permitted during the race. The race will be held rain or shine and all 5 mile participants will receive a t-shirt.

The Dinky Dash begins at 7:30 a.m. and is a fun run for children ages 12 and under. The dash is a half-mile, out and back course that begins at the Cohn School. It is a great way to introduce young children to a fun run atmosphere. Popsicles are provided after for the kiddos!
