Event summary

Join us for the Pine Belt Pacers 25th Anniversary Run on Saturday, October 5, 2024, in Hattiesburg, Lamar! This special event celebrates a remarkable milestone for the Pine Belt Pacers, a community that has fostered a love for recreational and competitive running since 1999. Participants can choose between two exciting distances: the challenging 25K Run, which kicks off at 7:00 a.m., and a more casual 2.5 Mile Run or Walk starting at 8:00 a.m.

This celebratory run, while timed, is all about community and connection rather than competition, as there will be no awards ceremony. Afterward, join us for a fantastic after party featuring breakfast-style foods, coffee, pastries, and drinks, where you can relax and socialize with fellow runners. Make sure to grab your limited-edition 25th Anniversary T-Shirt by registering before September 18, 2024. Bring your friends, family, and a chair or blanket as we honor 25 amazing years of running in the Pine Belt!
