Purple Up! 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run – Collinsville, MS 2026

Join us for the 4th annual Purple Up! 5K run/walk on Friday April 17, 2026 at Lake Okatibbee! April is Month of the Military Child, a time to honor the sacrifices and strength of all military children. The color purple symbolizes a combination of all branches of the military- Air Force blue, Army green, Navy blue, Marine red, and Coast Guard blue. Purple Up! Day is a special day set aside for all to wear purple to support and thank military children in the community and around the world. We invite everyone to wear purple to show your support! Join WLHS National Honor Society and WLHS Stars & Stripes Club in a 5K run/walk at Lake Okatibbee. Contributions will benefit military families at school and in the community. In addition to the 5K, there will be a shorter distance fun run for those 10 and younger. This will be a loop course with water stations along the way. All 5K and Fun Run participants will receive a race t-shirt (if registered by 3/31/26) and medal with registration. ***T-sh
