The Red Banks 5K Run/Walk will be held Saturday morning, October 24 @ 8:00am. This race is to benefit the North Mississippi chapter of Joni and Friends. Joni Eareckson Tada writes, “When a diving accident in 1967 shattered my dreams, I became a depressed and frightened teenager facing a lifetime of quadriplegia. I couldn’t imagine how God would use my life to bring hope through hardship to suffering people around the world. But, as I learned, God sometimes permits what he hates to accomplish what he loves…”

On Saturday, October 24th, start your day with a 5K Trail Run or One Mile Fun Run, then stay for a full day of Family Fun: Food Trucks, Music, and Science Activities. The location is the University of Mississippi Field Station. The University of Mississippi Field Station is a 787-acre research and education complex located in Abbeville, Mississippi, just 10 miles northeast of Oxford. The station features a unique V-shaped valley surrounded by wooded hills, spring-fed ponds, and native wetlands. Funds raised from this event support the mission of the University Research Foundation (UMRF). As an UM-affiliated 501(c)(3) foundation in conjunction with the University of Mississippi Foundation, UMRF also serves as the preferred channel for philanthropic support to UM’s research and innovation priorities.

US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather, bring anything you may want between laps, and check in with race staff if you need help. View Race Course, Results, and Race Information on the US Road Running race page.

Consistent with founder Danny Thomas’ vision, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion, or a family’s ability to pay. Danny Thomas opened St. Jude in 1962 with the dream that “no child should die in the dawn of life.” Since then, St. Jude has helped increase the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80%—and its lifesaving work will continue until no child dies from cancer. Celebrate Thanksgiving by running for hope, healing, and the children of St. Jude!

The MLK Unity Walk/5K Run is in collaboration with the City of Southaven and supported by the Southaven Mayor’s office, Mayor’s Youth Council, Mayor of Walls, Mayor of Olive Branch, local churches and citizens of DeSoto County. This event began as a small walk but has grown into an annual tradition and since has expanded into a 5K Run/Unity Walk. Its purpose is to celebrate unity among peers and the value added by asking all ethnic groups to recognize the ties that bind us all together with people from all walks of life to work together as one group. Our goal is to raise awareness and funds for the Precious Pearls Foundation. Proceeds will assist the foundation in providing support to deserving students in the DeSoto County Area, to prevent birth defect and infant mortality, provide services to the elderly and support to our veterans. PPF also supports our charity partner-Feed My Lambs. Contact Precious Pearls Foundation for details on how to make it a fundraiser for your organization or school at skellypreciouspearlsfoundation@outlook.com
