    📅 New Race Details

    Location: Cornelia Fort Airpark

    Registration Opens: 1:30 PM

    Race Start: 2:30 PM

    ✨ This is a non-timed fun run, so participants are encouraged to run, jog, or walk at their own pace. The race is a 5k with a one-mile fun run option.

    If you missed the original race date or are just learning about the Thin Mint Sprint, you can still sign up and be part of the fun on March 22.

    All registrations from the original date will automatically transfer to the new race date, and no action is needed if you plan to attend. If you are unable to join us on March 22, please reach out and we will be happy to assist with a refund.

    🎉 What’s Included with Registration

    All participants will receive:

    -A finisher medal

    -A custom Thin Mint Sprint tote

    -A box of Thin Mints 🍪

    🏃‍♀️ 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!

    What Is OUTLAST?

    OUTLAST is a 6-hour trail endurance challenge where runners complete a 5K every hour, on the hour. Each lap must be finished within the hour to stay in the event. If you finish early, you rest until the next round. Miss a lap, and you’re out.

    Complete all six rounds, and you OUTLAST.

    This isn't just about speed — it's about pacing, discipline, and mental grit. Whether you're trying to survive all six or win your division, the challenge is the same: show up each hour, push your limits, and stay in it.

    Each course is trail-based, with natural terrain, elevation, and unpredictable conditions. You’ll have time between rounds to recover, refuel, and refocus — but not much.

    What You Earn:

    ​4 laps = “Grit Earned” patch

    5 laps = “Survivor” patch

    6 laps = Premium “OUTLAST” medal

    ​​

    All participants receive a premium OUTLAST Tee.

    Top male and female with the fastest combined 5K times at each event win the 1st Place OUTLAST award.

    Finishers are ranked on the national leaderboard—and the fastest runner across all OUTLAST 6-hour events will be crowned National Champion and take home $1,000.

    The 1st Place Male and Female 6-hour champions from each city will earn a spot in the Outlast Championship, where they’ll compete against the best of the best at the end of the Tour, and the 1st place male and female winners take home $1000 each. (This is separate from the national leaderboard prize money.)

    By the end of the tour, the top 100 best times nationally will be invited to also compete in the Outlast Championship.

    Frequently Asked Questions:

    Do I have to run all 6 laps?

    Nope. Run as many as you can. If you complete 4 or 5, you'll still earn a patch. Only those who finish all 6 get the OUTLAST medal and leaderboard ranking.

    What happens if I don’t finish a lap in time?

    You're out. The next lap starts at the top of the next hour, and only those who completed the last lap on time can continue.

    How is the race timed?

    Each 5K is timed individually. If you complete all 6, your combined time counts toward the local win and national leaderboard.

    Are these trail races or road?

    Every OUTLAST race is on trail terrain — dirt, rocks, roots, and elevation. Sometimes some pavement and gravel.

    Can I walk?

    Yes, as long as you finish the 5K within the hour. But some courses are rugged, and time can sneak up on you.

    Are there aid stations?

    Yes. There will be water, basic hydration, and snacks at the basecamp/loop start. This is a cupless event — bring your own bottle or hydration system.

    What should I bring?

    Trail shoes, hydration system, layers (weather dependent), fuel between laps, and grit.

    Can I setup a tent?

    Absolutely, bring your own aid station/tent setup.

    Is OUTLAST for beginners?

    Yes — if you're mentally tough. You don’t need to be fast, just consistent and ready to suffer a little.

    How do I win?

    If you finish all 6 laps and have the fastest combined time, you win your division (male/female). Winners are also added to the national leaderboard for a shot at the $1,000 national prize & title.

    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.
