Course

The 5K course starts near Fire Station #3 and the baseball fields located on Veteran's Boulevard in Tupelo.  After running around the fast, flat block for the first mile, the course takes a couple of turns to run by Elvis' birthplace and the Tupelo Elvis Museum.  After a couple more turns, the course joins the running path for an uphill through the woods in Veteran's Park.  Once you reach the top of the hill, it is a fast downhill on the path to finish back at the parking lot.

Plenty of free parking and bathroom facilities are available at the start/finish area.

Goodies

All entrants will receive a Festival/5K t-shirt and a goodie bag.  Please note that we cannot be responsible for shortages in some t-shirt sizes on race day.  You must pre-register to be guaranteed a t-shirt in your preferred size.

Post Race Fun

Plan to stay after the run for all the fun.  Enjoy listening to music while refueling with plenty of soft drinks, water, fruit, cookies and Elvis' favorite - peanut butter and 'nanner sandwiches.
