Breaking the Loop (5K-22M) - Feb 28, 2026 | Brandon, MS

Lace up for the inspiring Breaking the Loop race, set to take place on Saturday, February 28, 2026, in the vibrant community of Brandon, Mississippi. This event, hosted by Team Red, White & Blue (Team RWB), offers a powerful message of "breaking the cycle" of neglecting health and embracing fitness for both veterans and civilians alike. Participants can choose from a range of distances including a 22M, 11M, 10K, or 5K, along with a 5K walk and 1-mile fun run, ensuring there's a challenge for every ambition.

The longer 11-mile and 22-mile distances will take runners on a scenic journey around the "Rez Loop" of the Ross Barnett Reservoir. Expect a course primarily on asphalt pavement, featuring a mix of multi-use paths, neighborhood roads, bike lanes, and some concrete sidewalks. The terrain offers a dynamic experience, varying from hilly stretches to perfectly flat sections, though shade is limited. For those tackling the 5K and 10K, an out-and-back course format provides an engaging route. With typical race day conditions in late February seeing highs around 66F and lows near 44F, and only a 17% chance of precipitation, the weather is often ideal for running.

Runners will find ample support along the course with six dedicated water stops strategically placed, including at the 5K and 10K turnarounds, and at key points along the reservoir loop. While city water fountains may be available, those in the 11M and 22M events are encouraged to carry a hydration vest or bottle for continuous hydration. The race emphasizes runner safety with police presence at crossing sections and the Central MS Amateur Radio Association (CMARA) monitoring the path. Starting and finishing on Spillway Road, near the RunStrong Training Center, the Breaking the Loop race promises a day of camaraderie and a chance to join a supportive community dedicated to health and wellness.
