2023 Pacing for Preemies Milk Run 5K

We are thrilled to announce the 2023 Pacing for Preemies Milk Run 5K. Grab your running/walking shoes and help us celebrate, honor and remember all the tiny warriors.

Participants are encouraged to raise funds and awareness to support the critically ill babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) that we serve by creating a team and a personalized fundraising page. The babies need you!


The Mothers' Milk Bank of Mississippi screens donor mothers, then collects, pasteurizes, and dispenses human donor milk to Mississippi's Neonatal Intensive Care Units.
The Mothers' Milk Bank of Mississippi is a 501(3)(c) non-profit organization.
All proceeds from The Milk Run 5K will directly support our mission.
