Plans are underway for the 23rd Annual Double Decker Spring Run, sponsored by the Oxford-Lafayette County Chamber of Commerce. This year’s 10K Run, 5K Run, and Kids Fun Run are scheduled for April 28, and anyone can get involved, organizers said.
The Double Decker Spring Run will partner with Baptist Memorial Hospital-North Mississippi as the title sponsor for the 23rd year in a row. The race grew to nearly 1,600 racers last year. Participants came to Oxford from all around the region, and that number is expected to climb again in 2018.
The Oxford-Lafayette County Chamber of Commerce will once again partner with Start2Finish for this year’s race. Start2Finish is a health-oriented event management company in the Mid-South. S2F produces events that allow Mid-South residents and area visitors the opportunity to challenge themselves, achieve goals and have fun.
For more information on the race or to register go to www.doubledeckerspringrun.com.
If you are interested in getting involved on any of the following levels, contact Pam Swain by March 15 at pam@oxfordms.com. The earlier your sponsorship is confirmed, the sooner your benefits and promotion will begin. So to get the most out of your sponsorship dollars, commit early, organizers said.
