Sickle Cell Warrior Walk & Run 5K

The Sickle Cell Warrior Walk & Run 5K takes place at Hartman Park on Tucker Road in Nashville. The main event is a 5K Run/Walk, with a 1 Mile Fun Walk starting shortly after. Both distances also offer virtual options. Breaking The Sickle Cell Cycle Foundation organizes the event with the message: “Because Sickle Cell Awareness Matters.” The day is designed for runners, walkers, families, local supporters, and individuals connected to the sickle cell community. Its purpose is to unite Nashville and nearby areas, raise awareness of sickle cell disease, encourage people to learn their sickle cell trait status, and support the foundation’s work in education and prevention. After the race, participants can stay for refreshments and awards. The event also includes vendor registration for small businesses and corporate or industry groups.
