Who Do You Run For?
Gilda’s Gang 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run is an untimed, all-ages, all-abilities fundraising and community building event held at Shelby Park in East Nashville.
Established in 2021, the event drew more than 275 participants in its first year – a combination of individuals and families served by Gilda’s Club; longtime Gilda’s Club volunteers and supporters; and community and business leaders. The event returns for its fourth year on Saturday, April 6, 2024. Registration starts at $35 per person with kids 12 and under free.
Gilda’s Gang 5K and 1-Mile Family Fun Run is named in honor of Dr. Gail Addlestone, a long-time Gilda’s Club volunteer and staff member who established a half-marathon training program and fundraiser – dubbed “Gilda’s Gang” – that raised more than $1.3 million for Gilda’s Club between 2006 and 2017. Despite losing Gail to metastatic breast cancer in 2007, her legacy of service, hard work and determination lives on through events like this one.
