About the Hattiesburg Half Marathon, 10k, and 5K
The course starts in front of a historic theater in downtown Hattiesburg, then winds through the Avenues, loops past the zoo, crosses through a university campus, and finishes with a long stretch down the Longleaf Trace. Along the way, local nonprofits claim stretches of the route and fill them with decorations and cheering, so the crowd is spread out and present rather than clustered only at the finish.
The post-race gathering moves to a separate venue a short walk from the finish line, at a spot along Gordan's Creek. It is a distinct destination rather than a tent in the parking lot, which gives the end of the morning its own feel.

The Hattiesburg Half Marathon, 10k, and 5K has been held every year since at least 2020. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
