Event overview
The Death by 5k Brandon is scheduled for August 22, 2026 in Brandon, Mississippi. The event is a 24-hour challenge consisting of ten repeated 5k legs run over a single 24-hour period, with each 5k beginning at regular 2.5-hour intervals. All legs use the same course, starting and ending at the RunStrong Training Center on Spillway Road. The final 5k must be completed within the 24-hour window. The event takes place in summer in Mississippi and organizers note that weather can be a major factor.
Logistics and entries
The event location is 1909 Spillway Road, Brandon, MS 39047. Participants may rest or sleep inside vehicles between legs, return home if local, or set up tents on a green space provided on site. There will be five hot meals served during the event plus additional snack food. Organizers will provide opportunities to cook, play games, rest and relax between 5k legs. There will be no on-course aid station, so participants are advised to carry personal hydration.
Registration details listed by the organizer include an entry price of $110 and an initial limit of 75 open spots; additional registrants may be placed on a waitlist after those spots fill. Registered participants receive a race shirt and event swag; finishers receive a custom finisher's coffin. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
