Get ready for a unique running experience at this inaugural 5k launching from within the historic prison walls in Petros, Tennessee on Saturday, August 29, 2026 at 7:30am—you'll loop around town and cross the finish line having "escaped" with a commemorative medal in hand! Registration pricing starts at $35 for early birds (through July 31) and increases to $40 or $45 closer to race day, with unisex cotton blend shirts available to those who register by July 30. This co-event with Historic Brushy Mountain Penitentiary offers a one-of-a-kind race experience you won't find anywhere else.
