Our 23rd Annual Gupton Jeep Tom King Classic features a Half Marathon and 5K Run/Walk. Staged at Nissan Stadium, home of the Tennessee Titans football team, each race is out and back over certified and flat courses with the Half Marathon route taking runners out to Shelby Park and along the paved Shelby Bottoms Greenway, that runs along the Cumberland River.

Scott has the distinction of having won 4 consecutive victories at the St. Jude Country Music Nashville Marathon [now St. Jude Rock 'n' Roll Nashville Marathon], and qualified for the 2016 Olympic Marathon Trials.
