Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage Presents: The 5th Annual 7th President 7K

Join us for the 5th Annual 7th President 7K, hosted on the historic grounds of Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage — a one-of-a-kind course where the nation’s 7th president once lived. This unique 7K run will take participants across paved paths, open fields, and scenic landscapes, including:

• Tulip Grove Mansion – once home to Rachel Jackson’s nephew
• Hermitage Church – built in 1824 for the surrounding community
• The Hermitage Mansion – the stunning finish line and crown jewel of the property

For those looking for a more relaxed pace, a 2-mile walking course will also be available — perfect for taking in the natural beauty and history of this National Historic Landmark.
