Race Info
The Hops Half Marathon is an inaugural race in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, scheduled for October 24, 2026. The 13.1-mile course starts and finishes at Hop Springs Beer Park and runs alongside a 1-mile family fun run. Race founder April Davis created the event to bring a road race back to the Murfreesboro area, with proceeds benefiting the Child Advocacy Center of Rutherford and Cannon Counties. The day wraps up with a fall festival featuring live music and food and craft vendors.
