Semi-Marathon d'Hattiesburg

Hattiesburg Half Marathon is held in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, on April 3, 2027, and offers three road distances: the half marathon (13.1 miles), a 10K (6.2 miles), and a 5K (3.1 miles). Start times are not confirmed in the schedule, so check the official timetable before race weekend. The atmosphere is festive from the gun onward, carried by spectator support along the route.

Having three distances on one morning means experienced runners chasing a hard 13.1 and complete beginners taking on their first 5K line up at the same event, which is much of its appeal. For the half, plan a 10 to 12 week build with the weekly long run stretched to 11 or 12 miles and one steady tempo effort; for the 5K, a few weeks of regular running with a single faster session will do. The race is a fixture of the local calendar in this southern university town.
