Key City Classic
The Key City Classic takes place in downtown Vicksburg, Mississippi, with the start and finish area located at the corner of Cherry Street and Grove Street. This event serves as a fundraiser for the Grace Christian Counseling Center, a non-profit organization providing mental health services. The 2026 edition marks the 18th year of the competition.
Participants can choose from several distances:
- 10K run
- 5K run
- 5K walk
- 1 mile fun run
The 10K run, 5K run, and 5K walk are open to all ages. The 1 mile fun run is specifically designated for children aged 12 and younger. The course routes are situated within the downtown area.
The event is held in coordination with the Old Courthouse Museum's Spring Flea Market. This local attraction features more than 100 vendor booths and typically draws a large number of visitors to the area.
Awards are presented to top finishers in the 10K run, 5K run, and 5K walk, including Overall, Masters, and Grand Masters categories. Medals are also awarded to the first, second, and third place finishers in various age brackets, ranging from 19 and under up to 80 and older. Packet pick up is organized on the Friday prior to the event at a nearby location on Cherry Street. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
