Rudolph’s Red Nose Run marks its 44th year on December 6th, 2025.
This year we return again to race at the scenic 960-acre Shelby Parks Greenway located in East Nashville adjacent to Shelby Park.
This is one of five Natural Area Parks within Metro Parks and has approximately three miles of Cumberland River frontage. Rudolph’s Red Nose Run Walkers and Runners are typically adorned with tinsel, Santa suits, bows and antlers most especially for the popular costume contests for groups, teams, families, children and dogs.NeedLink Nashville has served our city since 1912, meeting a variety of needs through wartime, floods, tornadoes, pandemics, and everyday emergencies.
We now provide emergency financial assistancewhen an unexpected financial crisis brings a family to the brink of homelessness with a threat ofeviction or disconnection of utilities.
100% of the proceeds from Rudolph's Red Nose Run benefit NeedLink Nashville's care for families and individuals facing eviction and disconnection from utilities.
