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.

Registration fee includes:
