The Mid-South Races for Hope invite participants to experience rural American running amid the vibrant fall colors of Crowley’s Ridge in Cross County. Despite challenges from a past tornado, the community is pressing forward. The race starts and finishes at Wynne Baptist Church, certified as a Boston Marathon qualifier. Refreshments, including Gatorade, fruit, and snacks, are available at aid stations every mile. Finishers and their families are treated to a championship BBQ plate supper, reflecting small-town Southern hospitality. Participants can enjoy local pasta specials throughout the event weekend.
