Harpeth Hills Flying Monkey Marathon

Race Information

The Harpeth Hills Flying Monkey Marathon is meant to be an antidote to an age of flat and fast marathons on city streets and in urban jungles, with more focus on times, course certification, gadgets, charities, and putting on a big show than on running.

This race has been featured in Marathon & Beyond and Runners' World magazines and is a marathon that is about running, running hard, and running over big and memorable and painful rolling hills through dense woods, and running with other like-minded athletes.

The Harpeth Hills Flying Monkey Marathon is about the joy and pain of running a unique, and uniquely challenging--some would say beastly--a 26.2-mile course in the beautiful and historic Percy Warner Park, nestled among the Middle Tennessee Harpeth Hills.
