Canton Juneteenth 5K Run/Walk
The Canton Juneteenth 5K Run/Walk takes place on June 20, 2026 in Canton, Mississippi along North Canal Street. The Pine Grove Association sponsors the event to commemorate Juneteenth and to highlight Canton's history while encouraging healthy lifestyles and movement as a way to address health disparities.
Juneteenth is observed to mark the date when Union soldiers enforced the Emancipation Proclamation in Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865. The event frames the 5K as a community commemoration of that history.
