Join us for the Second Annual Heartbeat Hustle 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run on November 9, 2024! This event is dedicated to supporting the Parkgate Pregnancy Clinic in Tupelo, MS (www.parkgateclinic.org). Building on the success of our inaugural event, this year promises to be even more unforgettable for participants and the community alike.

All proceeds from the Heartbeat Hustle will directly benefit the Parkgate Pregnancy Clinic, which exists to honor, support, and empower life-affirming choices. Parkgate offers services such as pregnancy testing, sonograms, counseling, prenatal vitamins, a baby closet, parenting classes, the One by One mentoring program, post-abortive counseling, and EMPOWER classes taught at middle and high schools.

The Heartbeat Hustle 5K will guide you through the charming streets of downtown Saltillo, with the race starting and ending at the First Baptist Church Saltillo. After the race, participants of all ages can enjoy post-race festivities, delicious food, and engaging activities, making the event a true celebration of community.
