From big races to Saturday morning group runs—find 10k events and connect with the local endurance sports community.
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!
