The First Finish Invitational

YOUR FIRST FINISH OF 2027 STARTS HERE.

A new year brings new goals, new challenges, and a new opportunity to discover what you're capable of.

The First Finish Invitational brings runners from across Middle Tennessee together for an early-season 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon built around one simple idea:

Before you chase everything you want to accomplish this year, earn your first finish.

Whether you're chasing a PR, stepping up to a new distance, returning to running, walking your first 5K, or simply looking for a reason to start the year moving forward, there is a starting line here for you.

Choose your challenge — 5K, 10K, or 13.1 miles — and join us Saturday, January 23, 2027 for a winter race experience designed for competitive runners, first-time racers, families, run clubs, walkers, and everyone in between.

YOUR RACE.

YOUR GOAL.
