MSU Veterans 5k/10k
University Recreation will be putting on the MSU Veterans 5k and 10k run on April 2nd, 2022. This year the course will be held at South Farm, where participants will run on the gravel roads around the farm. Participants will receive a t-shirt along with their race number, and after completing the race participants will receive a finisher medal. All fundraising proceeds, donations, and part of the race proceeds will go to the student veterans fund which helps them pay for a trip to their national convention, NatCon, as well as scholarships and other helpful programs for student veterans. Students may use the promo code "STUDENT2022" for $5 off of their registration.

Parking will be available at the parking lot by the recreational baseball/softball fields and the tennis courts. For directions to the parking lots, just search “Mississippi State Rec Plex, Starkville, MS 39759” on Google or Apple maps. Once you park there will be signs indicating where to go for the race from the parking lot, but you should also see them when you are pulling in.
Packet pickup will be available on Friday (04/01) from 12:30-7PM at the Sanderson in the conference room which is the first room on the right when you enter the Sanderson Center. Packet pickup will also be available the morning of the race (04/02) at the race location from 7:30-8:45AM, but it is encouraged to pick it up the day prior.
Make sure when you show up to check-in so we know that you are there, and we will have one aid station that will be about halfway for both distances. Most importantly though, make sure you show up ready to run and have fun!
The fun run will be free and is simply a half mile out & back (total 1 mile) run from the start/finish line. The fun run will start at 8:15AM to ensure enough time between the fun run and the 5k/10k race. All fun run participants will receive a t-shirt, but no medal. If you or have anyone with you who want to participate in the fun run, please email their info to Calvin Vechinski (crv100@msstate.edu)
