Hernando Water Tower 10K and Half Marathon

The 17th annual Hernando Water Tower 10K and Half Marathon takes place on October 10, 2026, in Hernando, Mississippi, with start and finish on the historic Hernando Town Square at 475 West Commerce. Both courses wind through tree-lined neighborhoods and pass the 1925 Hernando Water Tower, offering routes set in the local town area.

Distances offered:

13.1 miles Half Marathon
6.21 miles 10K

Registered runners and designated Spirit Runners are invited to an after party featuring free food, drinks, beer, live music, awards, and door prizes. For safety, the course will close on race day and half marathon participants must meet a 10-mile checkpoint cutoff; participants who remain on course after closure are required to follow traffic laws and proceed at their own risk. Event proceeds benefit Hernando Excel By 5’s Dolly Parton Imagination Library, which provides free books each month to local children from birth to age five.
