Run for Joe is a running event held in Decherd, Tennessee, offering a 1-mile and 5K option. The race takes place on July 4th, 2026, starting at 8:00 AM from 107 College Street. Entry fees range from $30 to $35. Whether you're looking for a shorter 1-mile effort or the classic 5K distance, this Independence Day race provides a straightforward local option.

Plan accordingly for early-morning heat if you're traveling to Tennessee for the holiday weekend.
