Runner’s World has even named it Mississippi’s best and one of the top 75 runs in the nation. The 10K run will be the same course as it has been the last 3 years. The City of Tupelo and the neighbors of Joyner are excited to have "their runners" come through the neighborhood again this year.
Runner Phillip Senter informs us that this race draws an international field to Tupelo MS, the birthplace of Elvis Presley. It's a great race, while giving runner's a look into the neighborhoods and residents of this deep south city.
