Death by 5K - Brandon, MS

Brandon, United States • 30-31 Aug 2025

Death by 5K in Brandon, Mississippi, is a grueling 24-hour challenge where participants run ten 5K races, each starting every 2.5 hours, beginning at 8 AM. The event is held at the RunStrong Training Center, with a consistent course for all legs that starts and ends at the center. Runners can rest in their vehicles or set up tents on a nearby green space between runs.

The event features five hot meals and plenty of snacks, with opportunities to relax and play games between races. Due to summer heat and no on-course aid stations, participants must carry their own hydration. Finishers receive a custom finisher's coffin as a unique memento.
