Invited riders confirmed for 2024 TKO Prologue in downtown Nashville; 16 riders set for head-to-head battle on Broadway St

On Thursday, August 22, Red Bull will transform Downtown Nashville for the Red Bull Tennessee Knockout (TKO) Prologue.

Sixteen of the best Hard Enduro racers representing seven countries will compete in a head-to-head bracket format race on a man-made straight rhythm inspired enduro course on lower Broadway Street. The course will launch out of a bar on lower Broadway Street and then hit several man-made obstacles including logs, rocks, k-rails and innovative X-Track synthetic jumps. The side-by-side out and back racing will include a best two out of three racing format.

The Red Bull Tennessee Knockout prologue in Nashville will be 100% free and open to the public and for all ages. Spectators will be able to have trackside and rooftop access on select rooftops. Please reach out directly to those venues before arriving.
