Field Fest 5K Trail Run

On Saturday, October 24th, start your day with a 5K Trail Run or One Mile Fun Run, then stay for a full day of Family Fun: Food Trucks, Music, and Science Activities. The location is the University of Mississippi Field Station. The University of Mississippi Field Station is a 787-acre research and education complex located in Abbeville, Mississippi, just 10 miles northeast of Oxford. The station features a unique V-shaped valley surrounded by wooded hills, spring-fed ponds, and native wetlands. Funds raised from this event support the mission of the University Research Foundation (UMRF). As an UM-affiliated 501(c)(3) foundation in conjunction with the University of Mississippi Foundation, UMRF also serves as the preferred channel for philanthropic support to UM’s research and innovation priorities.
