Runners from all over the nation come to participate in this award-winning race on the Sunday prior to Labor Day. The race will maintain it's 5 AM start to "beat the heat", but the course will once again run through the tranquil countryside of Lee and Pontotoc counties. It's our original course, which is unique, and what made us famous. The marathoners will run a 13.1 mile out and back; whereas, the "halfers" will continue on 1.1 miles from the turn-around back to the finish line for a 14.2 miler.
A 5K race and 1 mile walk held in October in downtown Tupelo to raise funds for Breast Cancer awareness and prevention. 100% of the proceeds from this event are used in Northeast Mississippi.
