Where ILA Is Heading Next: Nashville Half Marathon & 5K

Nashville is trading guitars for running shoes this weekend, and ILA is coming along for the ride.

On Saturday, October 24th, thousands of runners take on the Nashville Half Marathon & 5K, starting and finishing at First Horizon Park in the heart of Music City. The course winds past some of Nashville's most iconic landmarks, with live entertainment along the way and a finish line celebration waiting for everyone who crosses. Every finisher walks away with a commemorative medal and a race tee, and registration is still open at runnash.com.

ILA is a proud partner of the race, and every runner will find a mini ILA bar, Chocolate or Peanut, waiting in their official race bag. Races like this ask a lot of the body, and fueling well before, during, and after the miles matters just as much as the training that got you there. It's part of why race day is a natural fit for ILA. Good fuel and good miles go together.

We'll also be boothing at the Start & Finish Line Festival on race day, with co-founder Eileen Brantley on-site to talk adaptogens and answer questions. Nashville holds a special place for her. She's a Nashville native who recently moved back to the area, and race day puts her back among her own community.

Stop by the festival, grab a bar, and say hello to Eileen. Can't make it to Nashville? Follow along at @ila.life.nutrition for updates as we cheer on the runners!
