The 2014 Rebel Run offered Ole Miss freshmen an opportunity to sprint across the football field to the cheers of tens of thousands of fans.

The event, which took place Sept. 13 at the Ole Miss vs. Louisiana-Lafayette football game, is sponsored by the UM Student Programming Board, Department of Campus Programming and the Ole Miss Cardinal Club. The run, which is open to all freshmen, has grown steadily since it began nine years ago.
