Go Commando!
In it’s fourth year, the Go Commando
event continued its
tradition of growth and success
and remains one of the
premier events in Middle Tennessee.
The mission of the Go
Commando Half Marathon,
10k, 5k Fun Run, is to promote
health and fitness to the community
while honoring our service
members. Aspire funded
advertising and marketing,
along with community sponsorship
and helped garner 2,000

and Fun Run.
Group Tours
The Clarksville-Montgomery County Convention and Visitors Bureau works diligently in sales and marketing
to book large-scale group tour events throughout the year. Each event brings multi-night stays to our hotels
with visitors enjoying local attractions, meals and entertainment. Evenings are filled with concerts and shows,
and tour operators have the ability to customize their itinerary as they choose the attractions or sightseeing
tours that are most appealing to their group. Traditionally groups will visit landmarks including Fort Campbell,
Beachaven Winery, attractions in Historic Downtown Clarksville or Fort Defiance.
