NEMS Alcorn State Alumni Race for Scholars 5K
The event is a community 5K held at Fair Park in Tupelo, Mississippi on June 19, 2027. Its stated purpose is to raise funds to provide scholarships for students from Northeast Mississippi to attend Alcorn State University. Many of the prospective scholarship recipients are described as first generation college students who will need additional financial support.
Multiple participation options are listed for the 3.1 mile distance, including a 5K Run, a 5K Walk, a 5K Wheelchair division, and a Virtual 5K. Registration for the listed 5K events opens February 1, 2027 and closes April 30, 2027, with a registration fee of $25 for the main entries. The virtual option is monitored using RACEJOY and will have separate results; virtual results are for recognition only and virtual participants are not eligible for awards. A Health and Wellness Fair will be held in conjunction with the 5K at Fair Park and is planned to include a blood drive, diabetes blood pressure and cholesterol screening, and COVID screening and vaccinations.
