NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–TransPerfect, the world’s largest provider of language and technology solutions for global business, today announced that it is hosting the first Nashville-based edition of its multi-city Victory Lap 5K Run/Walk series benefitting the V Foundation for Cancer Research.
The event is being held on December 30, on the eve of the TransPerfect Music City Bowl college football game, and registration is open to the general public. Serious and casual runners, walkers, children, strollers, and leashed pets are all welcome to register. The course starts and finishes in the shadow of Nissan Stadium, routing along the Greenway on the river and through Cumberland Park.
