This year’s race will be the Chamber’s 23rd as a part of Double Decker weekend

OXFORD, Miss. – The 23rd annual Double Decker Spring Run will be held April 28, hosted by the Oxford-Lafayette County Chamber of Commerce.

“The spring run is a great, healthy way to start out a weekend that is such a premiere weekend in our community,” said Pam Swain, senior vice president of the Chamber of Commerce. “We have such a large, diverse group of people that participate in the run every year, and we really want to see our locals come out and be a part of this longtime tradition for Double Decker.”

The run will include three races: a 5K, 10K, and a one-mile Kids’ Fun Run. Registration is now open for the races, which will begin at 7:30 am on North Lamar Boulevard at the Oxford YMCA.

The Double Decker Spring Run is proud to partner with Baptist Memorial Hospital-North Mississippi as the presenting sponsor for the 23rd year in a row. Double Decker has grown to nearly 1,600 racers last year who came to Oxford from all over the country. Organizers expect the registrations to top 1700 runners this year.

All race participants will receive a race t-shirt and backpack, plus a unique finisher’s medal. Awards are given to the male and females in a variety of age groups, as well as the overall first, second, and third place male and female in each race, and first place masters and grand masters male and female. Following the art theme of the Double Decker weekend, the awards are each one of a-kind-art creations by local artists, designed with the Double Decker theme in mind.
