More than 1,000 students are registered to participate in the School Program’s culminating event, the Get Ready to Run Kids’ One-Mile Fun Run, one of the largest children’s running events in Mississippi. Students from participating schools will compete to win $2,000 for their school’s P.E. program by running on race day. Don’t miss this exciting event!
