Every Friday until the race (starting September 15th) we’ll be partnering with Grivet Outdoors for some awesome giveaways for anyone registered prior to the date of the drawing! So sign up today and be entered to win the rest of the giveaways left on the schedule!

We will post the winner on our HomeRun 5k Facebook page AND email the winner to let them know!

HomeRun 5k is proud to announce a return to the brand new Silo Square development on Getwell Rd in Southaven! This will be the perfect location to host the Family Fall Fest and all of our race day festivities!

The Silo Square, located directly across from Snowden Grove Park in Southaven, is the home of the 15th Annual HomeRun For Habitat 5k – KidsDash – Fall Fest. Our event has become the largest of its kind in NW Mississippi with over 9500 participants raising over $380,000 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 place to live. The Hernando DeSoto chapter selects deserving families from a pool of applicants to be awarded a home. The 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.

Thank you in advance for helping make a difference in the lives of a DeSoto County family!

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!

Join just right after the race at the newly opened Lucky Dog Music Hall & Bar (near the clock tower) for live music and awards presentations!
