We are looking forward to having you join us for this year's race, either in person or from a distance! 2026 marks the tenth year for the Annalisa Laudadio Love & Encouragement 5K. This event was established to sponsor a 4-H scholarship in memory of Annalisa. Anni passed away unexpectedly in April 2016 at the age of 15. She was an active, dedicated member of Alcorn County 4-H for ten years. During that time, she served in a variety of leadership roles at the club and county levels. She also competed in various 4-H contests and project areas at the county, state, and national levels. Annalisa loved people and made it a point to welcome any and all, especially those who seemed shy or by themselves. Her passion was loving people, and she was an encouragement to all who knew her. Race day has become a special community event to come together and remember setbacks but, more importantly, to celebrate victories. Encouragement is felt by all who attend.

The race will take place at the lovely Heritage Community Park in Farmington, MS, on the east side of Corinth. All runners/walkers will receive a race medal while those finishing in the top three of their age group (male and female) will receive a placing medal. ALL T-SHIRT SIZES LISTED WILL BE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE PRE-REGISTRATION PERIOD (SEPTEMBER 25). AFTER THAT DATE, SIZE AVAILABILITY CANNOT BE GUARANTEED.
