About the Event

Petal's community spirit illuminates like a coastal beacon at the 14th Annual PCTF Lighthouse Dash on February 28, 2026, where a 5K run and 2-mile walk from the Petal Civic Center generate vital support for the Petal Children's Task Force's essential outreach programs. This beloved tradition transforms Main Street into a corridor of compassion, blending competitive running with accessible walking while Waffle House fortifies participants with post-race breakfast—a testament to local business engagement in childhood welfare. Beyond fitness, the event sparkles with numerous door prizes including cash awards, creating an atmosphere where every registration directly translates into assistance for families navigating challenging circumstances.

With Pine Belt Pacer member discounts, guaranteed long-sleeve shirts for early registrants, and age-group awards spanning 13 categories from 0-13 through 70+, the Lighthouse Dash meticulously balances community inclusion with athletic recognition. As walkers compete for oldest and youngest participant honors under strict non-running rules, and runners chase overall, master, and grandmaster distinctions, this gathering proves that supporting children's futures can be both a solemn commitment and a joyfully shared Saturday morning ritual.
