About the Harpeth Hills Flying Monkey Marathon
The Harpeth Hills Flying Monkey Marathon is a small, deliberately old-school marathon run entirely within Nashville's Percy Warner Park on multiple paved-road loops. Known as one of the country's toughest road marathons, it packs over 3,600 ft of climbing and descending into 26.2 miles and is filled via a weighted August lottery rather than open registration.
