WHERE
BRENTWOOD ACADEMY, NASHVILLE, TN
Hosted at the beautiful 50 plus acre campus on a newly surfaced 6 lane track at Brentwood Academy and it’s state of the art facilities play a major role in the fast times run at this event.
WHEN
This date is strategically planned for the weekend after the Tennessee State XC meet when kids will be the most fit and ready to run a fast 2 mile after racing 3 mile races all fall.
This year matches up perfectly with both Mississippi’s and Alabama’s State meets ending the week before the Nashville PR 3200. This should increase the attendance and strengthen the competition.
MORE THAN A MEET
ACHILLIES INTERNATIONAL
Mission Statement: We break down barriers to race start lines and empower the disability community to cross the finish line.
We will have an Achilles 1 mile heat before the Invitational heats of the Boys and Girls Toad Two Mile.
TOADLYFE
The ToadLyfe is a certain energy, a way of thinking, a vibe. It brings people together, lifts people up, pushes you to believe in yourself and encourages you to chase your dreams without fear.
Billy Cvecko created the ToadLyfe about 7 years ago when he realized the sport of T&F needed to add some fire into the mix to spark more fun in the sport he loved. He bought an RV and started touring the country crafting content to make some magic and bring the energy!
PARTNERS
CHILE BURRITTO
Nashville’s favorite local Mexican restaurant will provide food for the meet.
All Burritos and tacos will be $10 with all proceeds going to local charity - Achilles Nashville.
HISTORY
The NASHVILLE PR meet is in it's 13th year. The meet started very informally in 2012 as a local 3200m time trial.
In the Spring of 2014, the Brentwood (TN) HS team, broke the legendary Hammonds, Indiana team's long-standing National Record in the 5x2M, with a 9:05.22 average.
This was the catalyst for HOKA to formally revive the Postal Nationals event that Fall (2014).
This NASHVILLE PR meet produced two HOKA Postal Nationals Team Champions (Brentwood, TN) over the first 4 years, as well as the best team average (Brentwood) and best individual 3200m time twice (Brodey Hasty).
