9th Annual Nashville, TN Ostomy 5K 2026

The Nashville Run for Resilience Ostomy 5K begins at 11:00 a.m. in Shelby Bottoms, a 336-acre urban park located at Shelby Avenue and South 20th Avenue in Nashville. This timed 5K run/walk offers distinct categories for open runners and ostomates, alongside a 1-mile children's fun run. This marks the ninth annual Nashville event, held to promote Ostomy Awareness. The day functions as both a local race and a fundraiser, with proceeds directed to the United Ostomy Associations of America, a 501(c)(3) charity. Donations are tax deductible. Race-day registration and packet pickup occur prior to the start. Each participant receives a shirt, a timing-chip bib, and a runner swag bag. Awards commence at noon or after the last finisher, establishing a finish-line cadence that includes walkers, families, children, ostomates, and supporters sharing the same park course.
