Location
Event Details
The Silo Square, located directly across from Snowden Grove Park in Southaven, is the home of the 16th Annual HomeRun For Habitat 5k – KidsDash – Fall Fest. Our event has become the largest of its kind in NW Mississippi with over 9,500 participants raising over $465,000 for the Hernando DeSoto Affiliate of Habitat for Humanity.
The success of the HomeRun for Habitat depends on community participation and sponsorship. Habitat for Humanity needs your help. Once again, our goal is to raise $60,000 to help build ONE HOME. Habitat for Humanity’s vision is a world where everyone has a decent affordable place to live. The Hernando DeSoto affiliate selects deserving families from a pool of applicants to be awarded a home. Each selected family participates in the construction and commits to pay a 20 year, 0% interest mortgage. In 2014, the first Habitat award recipient paid off her mortgage and now owns her home debt free; since then others have completed theirs as well!
We ask you to join us as a sponsor. We invite you to come out and participate in the fun. Sponsorship allows you to promote your business while supporting a very worthwhile cause.
Thank you in advance for helping make a difference in the lives of a DeSoto County family!

Fall Fest
One of the most loved aspects of our annual event is the Fall Fest/Kids Zone. With 15-20 games + fun activities like face painting, there’s all kinds of fun for the entire family.
From rock climbing walls, monster inflatables, to possibly even a mechanical bull, there’s definitely more fun than just running to be had at the HomeRun 5k.
We’re thankful for volunteers and support from Getwell Church and Brown Missionary Baptist Church to help pull off such a truly family-friendly environment each year!
Party after the Race
Join us right after the race at the newly opened Lucky Dog Music Hall & Bar (near the clock tower) for live music and awards presentations!
