About the race
On Saturday, October 10, 2026, runners from across the Mid-South are invited to “Mississippi’s Front Porch” for the 17th Annual Hernando Water Tower 10K & Half Marathon. Starting and finishing on the historic Hernando Town Square, both races wind through scenic, tree-lined neighborhoods and past the iconic 1925 Hernando Water Tower. The Half Marathon begins at 8:00 a.m., followed by the 10K at 8:05 a.m. After crossing the finish line, all registered runners and Spirit Runners are invited to enjoy the Race After Party featuring free food, drinks, beer, live music, awards, and door prizes. For safety, the course will close at 12:00 p.m., and all Half Marathon participants must reach the 10-mile marker by 11:00 a.m. Runners who remain on the course after these times must follow all traffic laws and proceed at their own risk. Proceeds benefit Hernando Excel By 5’s Dolly Parton Imagination Library, providing free books each month to local children from birth to age five.
