First Responders 5K - Mississippi State

The First Responders 5K at Mississippi State, Mississippi, is a community race held at 195 Lee Boulevard (ZIP 39762). This event is described as a 3-mile run, marking the fourth annual edition since its 2022 launch to honor first responders—firefighters, law enforcement, and EMS providers who risk their lives daily. The atmosphere centers on tribute and awareness, with a static display and race-day swag such as T-shirts and water bottles.

Organizers donate proceeds to Tunnels2Towers to help pay off mortgages for families of fallen first responders. The race is scheduled for October 4, 2025, and contributes to a community-focused day of remembrance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
