About the Event

Join us for The Ford Foundation’s Rabbit Run on Saturday, April 4, 2026, hosted at Southern Prohibition Brewery! This springtime favorite features both a 5K race and a 1-Mile Fun Run, winding through the scenic streets of Downtown Hattiesburg and finishing with a lively celebration at SoPro.

✨ New this year: During the 1-Mile Fun Run, kids will enjoy a special egg hunt along the course, making it even more fun and family-friendly!

Rabbit Run is designed for runners, walkers, families, and first-timers alike.
