25th Double Decker Spring Run Sponsorship Information
Plans are underway for the 25th Annual Double Decker Spring Run, sponsored by the Oxford-Lafayette County Chamber of Commerce. This year's 10K Run, 5K Run, and Kids Fun Run are scheduled for August 15th, and we want you to be involved!
The Double Decker Spring Run is proud to partner with Baptist Memorial Hospital-North Mississippi as our title sponsor for the 25th year in a row! Our race has grown to over 1,700 racers last year who came to Oxford from all around the region, and we expect that number to continue to climb this year. The Oxford-Lafayette County Chamber of Commerce is excited to once again partner with Start2Finish to bring you this year's race. Start2Finish is the premier health-oriented event management company in the Mid-South. S2F takes pride in producing events that allow Mid-South residents and area visitors the opportunity to challenge themselves, achieve goals and most importantly have fun! With their assistance, and our ready team of volunteers, this year's Double Decker Spring Run is sure to be fun for the whole family.
