Top Gun Night Run 6k

The Capt. Jeff Kuss USMC Memorial hosts the annual Top Gun Night Runner event at Lee Victory Recreation Park in Smyrna, routing through the Smyrna/Rutherford County Airport and Smyrna Municipal golf course, finishing at the memorial itself. The event features live music and food trucks, with a chip-timed course certified by USATF for a limited number of entrants. Funds raised support the maintenance of the Captain Jeff Kuss USMC Memorial and the Memorial Scholarship. The illuminated memorial honors USMC Captain Jeff Kuss, who died during a Blue Angels performance, symbolized by an F/A-18 Hornet aircraft centerpiece on loan from the National Naval Aviation Museum.
