5K races near Oxford

The Gateway to the Delta 10 Miler and 5K begins on Batesville’s Downtown Square at 151 Public Square. Participants can select either a 10-mile road race or a 5K. The Batesville Rotary Club organizes the event, now in its 12th year. It is scheduled for February, having moved from a previous November date. The course follows Batesville’s streets and byways, starting from the square. A previous running of the event registered over 350 participants. Winning times for the 5K were approximately 20 minutes, and for the 10-mile race, just over an hour.
