The Tug McGraw Foundation, founded in memory of pitcher Tug McGraw to fund brain tumor research, has announced its return to Nashville’s Country Music Marathon & 1/2 Marathon on Saturday, April 25. As a warmup for the big race, Team McGraw, an endurance sports training program that raises money and increases awareness for the Foundation, will host “Bowling For Brains,” a party celebrating its marathon runners Friday, April 24 from 5:30 pm to 9:00 pm at Nashville’s Tusculum Lanes. The party, which is open to all marathon participants, will feature bowling, a silent auction featuring guitars signed by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, a “carb-out” pasta and potato bar, and entertainment from the Warren Brothers, Lance Miller, McGraw’s road band The Dancehall Doctors and special guests to be announced. Tickets can be purchased online at www.tugmcgraw.org for $10 to $25, and sponsorship opportunities are available. “Kicking off our 2009 season here in Nashville with the Country Music Marathon and 1/2 Marathon is a thrill,” McGraw said. “We are excited to see so many dedicated new runners joining our running alumni to take on Music City.”
