Join us for the second annual Kites and Rainbows Run as we race through Mississippi State University’s campus and iconic areas of Starkville. With race options for all ages, it’s a great way to spend the morning together while supporting Mississippi’s only children’s hospital.
Race weekend lines up with one of the biggest weekends in Starkville: Mississippi State vs. Tennessee baseball, International Fiesta, and the King Cotton Crawfish Boil. Plan to make a full day (or weekend) of it!
