NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Organizers of the Country Music Marathon and Half-Marathon said on Thursday that a record number of runners have signed up to participate in this year's race.
More than 30,000 people have signed up to participate, including 5,480 to run the marathon.
The race will bring and estimated $40 million to Nashville, said organizers at a press conference held at Union Station.
The marathon will take place on April 24. This is the 10th year for the event.
Last year's race was not without controversy after one runner died and others had to be taken to the hospital after they were hampered by temperatures in the high 80s.
If you want to run this race do not delay registering....it WILL fill up, and you may be left out.
