We are the "oldest race in town"! And we are excitedly planning our third consecutive year in north Franklin parish in the town of Baskin on Sat., 5/16/26. We thought this year would be an excellent "warm up" to the Run for the Red, White, and Blue the very next weekend in Monroe. As you may know, last year's race was a charity benefit for Tracey Ready's breast cancer battle. We lost Tracey this side of heaven less than 2 months later. We want to honor her memory by funding a memorial scholarship in her name AND purchasing Bibles to distribute to local detention centers in need.

Our race this year follows the same, flat and fast route through Baskin, LA. We will have snacks and drinks for participants, and encourage spectators to come visit with us as well. We have Top Male and Top Female awards and age group medals. We also will do something NEW this year by having Top 20 finisher medals! Those that register BY noon on May 1st will receive an event t-shirt! We look forward to seeing you all at the Catfish Classic 5K sponsored by Winnsboro Sports!

M/F up to 15 years old; & 5 year increments M/F awards

    Join us for the 2nd Annual "Faster Pastor Jeff's Run for St. Jude," a fun and family-friendly Fun Mile walk/run, 5K race, and 10K race that are open to all runners and walkers of all ages and abilities. This is going to be a fun event for everyone, and it is for a great cause that Bro. Jeff loves so much! All funds raised will be for the lifesaving mission of the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Whether you are racing for a personal best or walking in memory or in honor of a loved one, every step you take helps ensure that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for their child's treatment, travel, housing, or food—because all a family should worry about is the love and care their child receives while being treated at St. Jude.

    This special event will take place in Bro. Jeff's hometown of Start, LA. The 5K and 10K starting line will be at the Start Baptist Church parking lot and continue onto Charleston Drive and then onto Webb Hill Road, with a turn back to the finish line in the church parking lot (an out and back course). The Fun Mile walk/run will be on Owl Loop, just across the church parking lot (also an out and back course). The Fun Mile walk/run will begin at approximately 7:30 AM, and the 5K and 10K races will begin at approximately 8:15 AM. All participants of the Fun Mile walk/run and 5K and 10K races will receive a finisher's medal. 5K and 10K finishers will receive medals for overall male champion and female champion, and then age divisions for both male and female, as follows: 19 and under, 20 to 29, 30 to 39, 40 to 49, 50 to 59, and 60 and up.

    Online registration will close on Thursday, August 22, 2026, at 11:00 AM. Packet pickup will take place on Friday, September 11, 2026, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM, at Start Baptist Church in the fellowship hall behind the Worship Center (back parking lot). Packets can also be picked up on Saturday morning, September 13, from 6:30 to 7:30 AM. There will be LIMITED race-day registrations available, but goodie bags with shirts and finisher medals are not guaranteed to late registrants.

    We are so thankful for our sponsors: Mid South Extrusion, CFM Enterprises LLC, Fleet Feet Monroe, JKE TAX, Winnsboro Sports, State Farm Insurance - Agent Laura Wood, Dr. Tyler Heath - Family Dentistry, and The Oaks on Bussey. We could not do this without all of their support!
