Pine Belt Pacers 25th Anniversary Run

Come celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Pine Belt Pacers! Established in 1999, the Pine Belt Pacers is a running organization that is open to anyone that has an interest in recreational and competitive running and walking in the Pine Belt area of Mississippi.

Join us as we celebrate this amazing milestone on October 5, 2024. 

IMPORTANT NOTICE: This run will have a time clock and will be manually timed; however, this is not a race, but a celebratory run to commemorate 25 amazing years. There will be no awards ceremony. 

Race updates/information can be found at the Facebook Event: PBP 25th Anniversary Run

The runs will start and end at the Jackson Station - Longleaf Trace - Hattiesburg. Following the runs will be an amazing after party so that everyone can hang out, socialize and connect with fellow Pacers! The Pacers will provide breakfast style foods, coffee, pastries, snacks and drinks. So, bring a chair or a blanket, bring extra food to share and let's celebrate 25 awesome years!

There are 2 run options to celebrate the 25th anniversary:
•25K Run (no walkers allowed)*starts at 7:00 a.m. 
•2.5 Mile Run or Walk starts at 8:00 a.m.

*No walkers will be allowed to participate in the 25K due to time constraints. The goal is to have everyone finish the runs at the same time so everyone can enjoy the after party together. 

There will be 2 aid stations on the course - one at the 2.5-mile turnaround and the second at the 25K turnaround. Participants in the 25K must be prepared to provide their own hydration/fuel between the aid stations. 

25th Anniversary T-Shirts will also be available for purchase when registering. *Deadline to be guaranteed an Anniversary T-Shirt is 9/18/24. Extra T-Shirts will be available for purchase on the day of the run, but only on a first come, first serve basis.
