From the Organizer
1-in-5 kids are impacted by Dyslexia.
Go the extra mile to help our children read on Saturday September 26th at the 4th annual Music City Run for Dyslexia. Every step counts in the 5K run/walk and 10K course along the Cumberland River and through Shelby Bottoms, one of Nashville’s most beautiful greenways. In addition, a 1-Mile Dyslexia Dash will be offered for all ages and ability. The event is hosted by Learning Matters, a non-profit organization established in 2006, that exists to help K-12 students with Dyslexia and other learning disabilities reach their academic and human potential by providing equitable access to the highest quality assessment, tutoring, and advocacy. Net proceeds of the Music City Run for Dyslexia help provide free interventional tutoring for students with Dyslexia.
NEW YOUTH AWARDS!
Come and find your people at the 4th Music City Run for Dyslexia! Run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines!
**T-SHIRTS: Because many participants do NOT want a t-shirt and to lessen our impact on the environment, we have kept the event price low with the option to add $5 for a t-shirt. Shirts are guaranteed until August 15th. Thereafter, shirts are available based on remaining inventory.
