    🏃‍♀️ Why Run the Thin Mint Sprint?

    The Thin Mint Sprint is more than just a race. It is a fun, community-centered event that directly supports Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee, the leading organization for girls in Middle Tennessee.

    Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee serves over 14,000 girls and volunteers across 39 counties, empowering them through programs that build leadership skills, encourage community engagement, and support personal development. The mission of Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee is to build girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place, and every step you take helps bring that mission to life.

    Community support plays a key role in making events like the Thin Mint Sprint possible. A limited number of sponsorship opportunities are still available for businesses or organizations interested in supporting girls in Middle Tennessee while being part of this fun, mission-driven event. Those interested can contact Scout Hardin at shardin@gsmidtn.org to learn more.

    Because this is a non-timed event, the Thin Mint Sprint is perfect for all ages and fitness levels. Whether you are a seasoned runner, a casual jogger, or walking with friends or family, everyone is welcome. Plus, where else can you run for Thin Mints?

    Please note that any future updates will be shared via email, on our social media channels, and on RunSignup, so be sure to keep an eye out.

    Thank you for your understanding, flexibility, and enthusiasm. We cannot wait to see you at the starting line!

    Come and join us for our 5th Annual Whisker Walk/Run 5K/10K 2026 at Shelby Park Riverview Pavilion (1964 Davidson Street) in Nashville on March 28th, 2026! All proceeds benefit True Rescue and the over 400 cats and kittens we have currently under our care. We have a 7,000 sq foot, cage-free facility, with 15 different rooms to accommodate every age, size and personality. We take in cats and kittens that would otherwise not survive their circumstances, and we do our best to take in all difficult medical cases that are presented to us from cats that have been neglected, abused or homeless.

    This event is to raise awareness towards the growing needs of the cats and kittens in our county and all surrounding counties, and to help fund our medical clinic to purchase supplies and equipment. We must, as a community, do more for these creatures, and we must provide more resources to help. True Rescue is growing fast, and we can't do it without fundraisers such as these, bringing community and cat lovers together in unity for this great cause.

    We are proud to announce that our emcee for the event is our favorite news reporter, Nick Beres, with News Channel 5. We will have music, food trucks, a delicious bake sale, vendor booths, and more! After the event, come join us at our shelter to take a tour, meet our staff, visit with our in-house kitties, and possibly adopt! We would love to encourage everybody that walks to bring out your crazy cat lady/guy side! We will be giving a prize for the most outrageous, cat-inspired outfit! If you love cats, you don't want to miss out! Oh, and we love our dogs too, so dogs are allowed to run with you during the race, as long as they are leashed and cleaned up after.

    With registration, you will receive your very own Whisker Walk T-shirt and a cat ear headband! Please note, the registration deadline to guarantee your size in a t-shirt is by midnight on March 22nd, 2026. You will be able to select a size during the registration process. Once a certain size has run out (after March 22nd), you will no longer be able to select that size. Once all t-shirts have run out, you will only be able to select "No T-shirt". Let's get this crazy cat walk started!

    Registration closes at 7am on the morning of the race.
