5-K Logo2 (3).jpeg

The Oktibbeha County Heritage Museum 5K Race and Fun Run is a fundraising event aimed at bolstering the Museum's efforts to enhance and modernize the Museum and its exhibits. The race will begin and end at the Heritage Museum. The route will take participants through the rich historical tapestry of Starkville's Historic District, downtown area, and the bustling Cotton District.

The race will begin at the Heritage Museum (206 Fellowship St.) and end in the Cotton District.  We plan to have signs along the route to assist you. 

We welcome your suggestions as we launch our first race.  Please do not hesitate to ask                                                      questions.
