About the Tunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk - Jackson, MS
The Tunnel to Towers 5K honors first responders and fallen firefighters, and the Jackson event carries that same weight. The route runs through The District at Eastover, a mixed-use development on the east side of the city, so the surroundings feel more neighborhood than wilderness, with pavement underfoot and a straightforward course.
Packet pickup happens the evening before at The District at Eastover, and again on race morning in the grass circle at that same location. Having both options in one place keeps things simple if you are driving in the day of.
