It's a race for a funnel cake and it's becoming as much a part of the Tennessee State Fair as the giant Ferris wheel itself. The Tennessee 4-H Funnel Cake 5K, to be held at the Tennessee State Fair on Saturday, September 16, has become an annual popular event attracting runners of all ages from all across Tennessee. Scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. at the State Fairgrounds on Wedgewood Avenue in Nashville, the 5K will feature both fun runs and competitive running for participants registered in several age groups.
