Outdoor Activities

Even though we have been given a "stay at home" directive by the State, we can still go outside to maintain a healthy lifestyle; we just have to be safe, smart, and courteous in doing so.  Section 10 of the order allows for individuals "to engage in outdoor activity, provided the individuals comply with Social Distancing Requirements...such as, by way of example and without limitation, walking, hiking, biking, running or equestrian activities". If you are well, be careful and respectful and consider one of the following activities:

• Participate in the Mississippi Bar Trail Run 5K/10K & Virtual Run! In response to everything going on, we have opened up our June 6th trail run event to provide the unique opportunity for individuals to participate in their own way on their own time as virtual runners. Now, you can register for the Virtual 5K or 10K and run anytime and anywhere from April 1st – June 7th. Whether you’re on the trail, the treadmill, the sidewalk, or at the park – go the distance and accomplish your goal! For more details about the virtual run, click here.
• Visit a local park and get some fresh air in our open grass spaces - Our parks are free and still open to the public, although we have now closed the dog park and skate park and all playground areas, playing fields, courts, and public restrooms. Feel free to tag us on social media to show us what you’re up to! Please abide by social distancing requirements and be mindful of others’ safety as well as your own.
• Visit a nearby regional park - Currently still open.
• Go on a walk, run, or bike ride around your neighborhood and say hi (from a distance) to all of your neighbors as you pass by!
