Race Info
SASS STRUT stands for Seriously Awesome Stroke Survivors Strutting To Recover Uplift & Thrive. THE SASS STRUT IS AN ANNUAL 5K FUN-RUN EVENT TO INCREASE AWARENESS ABOUT STROKE AND RAISE MONEY TO FUND STROKE REHAB IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE.
In 2016 Neuro Therapy Nashville started Seriously Awesome Stroke Survivors (SASS) as a dynamic support group for stroke survivors, their family, friends, caregivers, and others in the stroke community. We are excited to announce that this year the 5K will support the Brain Injury and Stroke Charity of Tennessee (BISCT, pronounced biscuit), a brand new local non-profit that will provide funding to stroke and brain injury survivors who cannot afford treatment, as well as providing caregiver respite programs. With your support, we can reach those with immediate need right here in Nashville.
THIS WALK, RUN, OR ROLL EVENT IS OPEN TO PARTICIPANTS OF ALL ABILITIES AND STROKE SURVIVORS IN VARIOUS STAGES OF RECOVERY.
SASS STRUT 5K features a scenic wooded paved trail that starts at the dock on Couchville Lake in Long Hunter State Park, follows the Couchville Lake Trail around the lake, wrapping back through the starting point for a short out and back to hit the full 5K and finish the race.
Survivor Strut
There is a shorter loop available called the Survivor Strut. The Survivor Strut starts at the same starting line as the full 5K and marks every 100 feet for 1000 feet so Survivors of limited mobility can map their progress along the Strut. Completing the full Survivor Strut will be a total of 2000 feet. Survivors are also welcome and encouraged to walk/run/roll the full 5K if they are able. Whether you finish the 5K or The Survivor Strut or walk 100 yards, we look forward to celebrating with you and the rest of the stroke community at SASS STRUT 5K!
