Homerun for Habitat 5K
About this race
For 18 years, the HomeRun for Habitat has brought our community together to make a lasting difference. More than 10,000 participants have helped raise over $500,000 for the Hernando DeSoto Chapter of Habitat for Humanity.
This year’s event will be hosted at the acclaimed Silo Square mixed-use development, located across from Snowden Grove Park in Southaven. Participants and families are invited to enjoy the HomeRun for Habitat 5K, Kids Dash, and Fall Fest.
Our goal is to raise $60,000—enough to help build one home for a deserving DeSoto County family.
Habitat for Humanity believes everyone deserves a decent, affordable place to live. The Hernando DeSoto affiliate selects qualified families through an application process. Future homeowners contribute “sweat equity” by helping build their homes and commit to an affordable 20-year, zero-interest mortgage.
To date, the local affiliate has helped 32 families achieve the dream of homeownership—16 of those homes were made possible through the HomeRun for Habitat.
The success of this event depends on the generosity of our community. We invite you to:
