NEMS Alcorn State Alumni Race for Scholars 5K
The event is a 5K held at Fair Park, 71 Troy Street, Tupelo, MS 38802. Its stated mission is to raise funds to provide scholarships for students from Northeast Mississippi to attend Alcorn State University. Many of the targeted students are identified as first generation college students.
The program offers multiple participation categories for the same distance of 3.1 miles: a 5K run, a 5K walk, a 5K wheelchair division, and a Virtual 5K. Registration for the listed categories opens on 2026-02-02 and closes on 2026-05-01. The registration fee for the listed categories is $25.
A Health and Wellness Fair will be held in conjunction with the 5K at Fair Park. Planned services include a blood drive, diabetes blood pressure and cholesterol screening, and COVID screening and vaccinations.
The virtual option is monitored with RACEJOY and has separate results from on site participants. Virtual results depend on cell service and participant reporting and are published for recognition only; no awards are offered for virtual participants.
