Viking Half Marathon
The Viking Half Marathon takes place in the Mississippi Delta, offering participants a route through the historic city of Greenwood. The event features three distinct distances:
- Half Marathon
- 10K
- 5K
The course is designed with a start and finish line in the historic Cotton Row district. Runners follow flat, tree-lined streets throughout the city. A notable section of the route includes Grand Boulevard, which is recognized for its large oak trees and historic homes. The course also passes various filming locations from the 2010 movie The Help.
Participants can expect a local atmosphere as the surrounding community, including restaurants and shops, provides special activities and menus during the race weekend. The event is organized in collaboration with local sponsors and the Greenwood-Leflore Chamber of Commerce. Registration is open to the public with tiered pricing for the different distances.
