The half marathon and 5k will start the Mt. Juliet Christmas Parade, so feel free to dress in your holiday best for this fun event! Juliet Christmas Parade!
The moderately hilly half marathon course will start just minutes before the Mt. Spectators will be cheering you on for the first mile before turning off onto a scenic country road. Some roads will be completely closed, and others will have one lane dedicated to runners. The 5k course does have about two rolling hills and will be on a completely closed Mt. Juliet Road. The 5k will take place minut
es before the Mt. Juliet Christmas Parade. Be prepared for some excited spectators cheering you on the whole way! Runners will stay on the westbound lane of Mt. Juliet Road, since there will be parade floats on the eastbound side! Team Magic is excited to announce our charity partner, Christmas with a Cop! The Mt. Juliet Police Department is sponsoring less-fortunate children to take Christmas shopping this holiday season in its Christmas With a Cop program. This is the 12th year for the Christmas With a Cop program. An increasing number of families in our community are in great need throughout the year, but with the Christmas season approaching, that need is more difficult to face. Juliet Police Christmas With A Cop program focuses on assisting families in need for the holidays by inviting children and families in the community to shop with a Mt. Juliet Police Officer for gifts for themselves and loved ones. For one night, children and families are given undivided positive attention, making them feel special in a way many of them have not previously experienced. The program is funded through donations from local businesses and community members, as well as funds from the Mt. Juliet Police Department. A portion of your entry fee will go towards this special program. You can also donate to help more children. Check out www.team-magic.com for more info.
