The 25th anniversary of the Mid-South Races for Hope, formerly the Mid-South Marathon, is set to take place on November 2, 2024, in Wynne, Arkansas. This popular running event promises a scenic route that showcases the beauty of Crowley’s Ridge during the vibrant fall season. Participants can look forward to experiencing small-town Southern hospitality and community support as they run.
