Named for the premiere shopping, dining and entertainment venue in
central Mississippi, the Renaissance at Colony Park Half Marathon will
start and finish at the Renaissance at Colony Park shopping

the Renaissance down Highland Colony Parkway,
through neighborhoods, both new and old, and along scenic (paved)
nature trails and back to the Renaissance.
This year marks the race's second annual running -- the 2008 running
saw just over 740 runners cross the finish line -- and race highlights
include chip timing, a beautiful finisher's medal, a technical t-shirt,
shopping discounts at Renaissance stores, shopping spree drawings and
winners awards. Additionally, the G.I. Associates 5K will be run with a

Renaissance half Marathon. This race will include chip timing,
technical T-shirts, finisher's medal, shopping discounts at Renaissance
stores, shopping spree drawings and winners awards.
There will be awards and prizes for winners in categories including
Overall, Master and Grand Master, male and female 1st – 3rd

($500), second place ($250) and third place ($150) for each category
will be awarded.
There's lots of scenery along the course, from beautiful parkways to
amazing neighborhoods. Stretches of the course are tree lined, there
are some rolling hills, and plenty of flat stretches. The race is open
