Half and Half Marathon, 5K, and 10K - Mount Juliet, TN

Half and Half Marathon, 5K, and 10K is run in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, on November 7, 2026, with three distances: a 5K, a 10K and a half marathon (13.1 miles). The course uses roads through the surrounding countryside as well as the town's public parks, so you alternate between residential stretches and green space. Mount Juliet lies close to Long Hunter State Park on Percy Priest Lake and Cedars of Lebanon State Park, and roughly half an hour from Nashville.

This is a good middle-distance weekend for runners in Middle Tennessee who are not ready to commit to a marathon block. The 10K rewards a couple of months of steady work and one weekly session at threshold effort; the half asks for around ten weeks and a long run that reaches 12 miles. If you are stepping up from the 5K, treat the 10K as a patient effort rather than a sprint, and start it a little slower than feels right.
