Run the Rainbow will feature a 5K route beginning and ending at Hal & Mal’s in downtown Jackson, and the 2024 event will also offer 10K, half marathon, and full marathon routes through downtown Jackson, Belhaven, Eastover, and the University of Mississippi Medical Center campus where you can see the Kathy and Joe Sanderson Tower at Children’s of Mississippi!

Not only will participants get some awesome race swag and admission to a St. Paddy’s after-party at Hal & Mal’s, but the registration fee and all event proceeds will benefit a great local cause. Children’s of Mississippi is committed to providing state-of-the-art care to any child in need.
