Special Olympics Tennessee offers a vibrant, year-round lineup of competitions across 16 sports, serving more than 18,000 athletes statewide. None of this will be possible without the continued support of our community partners, donors, and fundraising champions.
We will be thrilled to be a featured charity for the 2026 Hot Chocolate Run Nashville, and we will need YOU to help make it an unforgettable day, full of miles, smiles, and a little chocolatey magic!
