Frog Island Flyer Racing and The Mall at Barnes Crossing present The 5th annual Regional Rehab 5k and Fun Walk. The In Person 5k is sponsored by Modern Woodmen of America! This year we are adding a wheelchair event (sponsored by Tupelo Smiles Family Dentistry) and a walker category (presented by The Mall at Barnes Crossing)! Once again, we are offering a virtual 5k that can be ran 4/1 thru 4/11 at any location (sponsored by Room to Room Furniture). Regardless of your pace, there's a place for you at our race. Our goal is to offer you a great experience while helping out a great organization!
THE RACE IS HELD RAIN OR SHINE :) In Case of rain and participants not wanting to run in rain due to safety etc, we will treat everyone as a virtual participant. You will be able to pick up your finisher's medal and any other SWAG at The Mall Office Management Office within two weeks after the race. We will email all participants after the race. The race will go on in case of rain.
No Cash Prize this year! A donation will be made in the top female and males name to RRC.

There will be a virtual race experience for those who are not able to participate in person. Separate results will be provided for virtual runners and on site participants. You can download our RaceJoy app (see below) and your results will post on our site when you complete the 5K distance. Virtual participants not using the app will be on the honor system and manually input their time. Virtual participants will receive a shirt, print out a digital bib and finisher certificate (once their time is posted). Please note, due to the nature of virtual results being reliant on dependable cell service and honesty, virtual participant's results are for recognition only and will not be eligible for age group awards or trophies. Please see our "Virtual FAQ" below.
