Saturday in Natchez !!

Greetings Finally, a race day has arrived in Natchez.  Good luck today!  Below is a run-down of everything happening today at The Natchez Half.  Have a blast! #runNatchez

Packet Pickup at 6:30 AM until 2:00 PM You can pick up your race bibs and t-shirts at The Natchez Grand Hotel from Noon until 6:00 PM.  Just bring your driver's license and we'll get you squared away. If you are picking up for a friend, please bring a photocopy of your friend's driver license. This your last chance to pickup your bibs for Sunday.  There will be no packet pickup on Sunday.

The One Mile Starts at 8:15 The one-mile fun run kicks off at 8:15 AM just in front of the gazebo!! We'll send these runners out for a quick lap to the christmas tree and back.

Breakfast on the Bluff @ 8:30 AM It's a southern style breakfast being served up for you on this Saturday.  It happens to pair perfectly with Natchez Brewery beer ... either the River City Blonde or the Revival Coffee Porter.  We'll be serving it beginning at 8:30 AM today.

The 5K Starts at 9:00 AM The 5K will depart from the Gazebo at 9:00 AM If you're running the trifecta, make sure you swap out your one-mile bib number and put the 5K bib on. Your bib must match the race you are currently running.

Live Music Starts at 9:30 AM Til ?? Scotty Van Matre and Micah Lipsmeyer are ready to reward your hard work with lots of songs you know. It's a guaranteed good time when these two crank up the guitars and turn up the sound.

Thank You Sponsors!
