Spirit on the Course – 2008 Winners

Spirit was running high this year as more than 2,000 cheerleaders took to the race course, armed and ready to cheer runners on with more spirit, more energy, and more creative tactics to ever hit the Nashville race course. They stopped at nothing to put that extra pep in those runner’s steps – with posters, pom-poms, and megaphones to add to their constant cheering, clapping, and chanting.
