Running with the Community at the Hernando Water Tower 10K
There is something special about seeing the community come together in the heart of Hernando, and the Hernando Water Tower 10K is one of those events that brings out the very best in our city. Held around Hernando’s historic Town Square, the race draws runners and supporters from across the Mid-South for a morning centered on health, hometown pride, and community spirit. The event route winds through Hernando’s scenic neighborhoods and passes the city’s iconic 1925 water tower, making it a race that feels uniquely local.
Toyota of Hernando was proud to be part of the excitement and support such a meaningful community tradition. Events like this are about more than just crossing the finish line. They are about showing up for the place we call home, cheering people on, and being part of something that brings families, businesses, and neighbors together. The race also benefits Hernando Excel By 5’s Dolly Parton Imagination Library, helping support early childhood literacy in our community.
From the energy at the start line to the celebration afterward, the Hernando Water Tower 10K always delivers a memorable experience. Organizers highlight a post-race after party on the square with food, drinks, music, awards, and door prizes, which adds even more fun to a day that is already packed with community pride.
We are always grateful for opportunities to support events that make Hernando such a great place to live and work. The Hernando Water Tower 10K continues to be a great example of what happens when a community rallies together, and we were honored to be part of it.
If you want, I can also make this one more personal to Toyota of Hernando by adding details like packet pickup, the water stop, the after-party tent, or your team’s involvement specifically.
