Run for fun

If you you are running, watching, or avoiding the Country Music Marathon in Nashville, Tennessee on April 24th, you could complete your day with a trip down the road to Hickman County, Tennessee – about an hour southwest of downtown Nashville. There are places to eat, shop and enjoy music – great for the day of the marathon as well as any weekend. For more info on some of the music and things to do, check out http://www.musiccitybackyard.com/, the Hickman County Chamber of Commerce, and/or Nashville’s Trace.
