Event Overview
The Run for Joe is an annual charity event held in Decherd, Tennessee. Established to honor a local community member, the event is organized to support cancer research. Participants can choose between multiple distance options, including local in-person paths and a remote alternative.
Available distances include:
- 5 km run
- 1 mile run or walk
- Virtual 5 km
The in-person events start and finish at the Decherd Babe Ruth Fields, located at 107 College Street. Following the conclusion of the races, the venue hosts a family friendly after-party on-site. Registration is open to all fitness levels, with no qualification requirements specified.
The event serves as a fundraiser for the V Foundation. All proceeds generated from the run are donated to this organization, with the funds specifically designated for cancer research. During the previous year's edition, the event raised $2,000 for the foundation. In addition to participant registration, the event also seeks local sponsors to support the initiative. Early registration tiers are made available during certain periods of the year leading up to the July event date. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
