Run for Freedom - Mt. Juliet

Run for Freedom, Mt. Juliet

Run for Freedom is a road and greenway event on November 14, 2026, centered at Mt. Juliet High School in Mount Juliet, Tennessee. Distances offered include:

• Half Marathon : 13.1 miles
• 10K
• 5K
• 10K Ruck
• 5K Ruck

The courses use local greenways and park areas, including Charlie Daniels Park and the Jackson Hills neighborhood, with the start and finish at Mt. Juliet High School. The half marathon is a two-loop course that incorporates greenway areas and neighborhood streets; the 5K is an out-and-back to Charlie Daniels Park. Aid stations are positioned at roughly two-mile intervals and provide water, GU Energy Gel, and fruit. Restrooms are available at Mt. Juliet High School athletic fields and Charlie Daniels Park.

The event benefits Rest Stop Ministries, supporting survivors of sex trafficking through long-term residential programs, workforce empowerment, and supportive services. Registered participants receive a custom race shirt and a custom finisher medal.

Ruck divisions require a traditional backpack-style ruck and specific dry weight: participants over 150 lbs. carry 20 lb.; participants under 150 lbs. carry 10 lb. A pre-race weigh-in is required; no weigh-in means no finisher medal. Weight must remain in the ruck during the event and random checks may occur. Weighted vests and plate carriers are not eligible for awards.

Packet pickup locations include Cooking Around Town in Mt. Juliet and race day pickup at Mt. Juliet High School. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
