FINISH LINE PARTY
GET READY TO PARRRRRRRTTTTEEEEEEEEEE
(Don't forget your GOAT YOGA towel or mat 🧘♀️🐐🧘♂️ AND the Athlete Guide has been posted)
Let's talk about the Priority One Bank Finish Line Party - All athletes have full access to our Finish Line Party. The Finish Line Party starts at 9:30am and will end at 1pm. There will be plenty of food to go around (so don’t stress) since it will be set out in three different intervals to ensure our long-distance runners and riders have plenty, too!
WRISTBANDS – You will find a wristband in your packet at Packet Pick Up. You must wear this during the Finish Line Party. If you are under 21, you will receive a wristband in your packet denoting you are underage. Our bar tenders may ask for IDs as well. Your wristband has 4 tabs on it – two are for beer (Miller-Coors 🍻 products or Mississippi’s own Fertile Ground brews will be on tap), one is for a Cathead pink lemonade cocktail, and the fourth is for a protein (hog, hamburger, hotdog). Once noon hits, you go back for seconds and thirds! Coke products 🥤, Zen water, Powerade, and Bioltye will be available throughout the party! Stay hydrated!
THE MENU –
🔸 Underdog Hot Dogs, a local food truck favorite with all the toppings
🔸 Hamburgers, grilled by Codaray Construction, a Jones Company
🔸 Whole Hog Sliders, thanks to our friends at Boe Farms and Strick’s BBQ
🔸 Extra Table’s Extra Full Southern Red Beans and Rice (did you read about this in our March 21 social post?)
🔸 Mexican Street Corn
🔸 Watermelon, from Corner Market
🔸 Oranges and Bananas, from Gulf Coast Produce
🔸 Boiled Peanuts, from Keg and Barrel
🔸 Chips, I am always craving that salty, crunchy snack
🔸 New Orleans-style Beignets
🔸 Root Beer Floats (or Coke floats) made with Blue Bell Ice Cream
*If you have special dietary needs, feel free to bring some of your favorite snacks.
Make sure to bring a chair or blanket (or a tent for shade) to claim your picnicking spot so you can sit back, relax and listen to tunes by Kyle Baughman coupled with some two-steppin’ line dancin’ led by Rebecca Chandler of Hattiesburg Ballroom & Beyond. 💃 💃 💃
FUN AT THE FINISH LINE – You will be busy busy busy between spray painting your swag bag, axe throwing, caricature drawings, photo ops and the 360 photo booth, and visiting with all our amazing vendors. GOAT YOGA 🧘♀️🐐🧘♂️ will start on the hour and half hour from 10am until 12 noon and each session will last about 15 minutes. BRING YOUR OWN MAT OR TOWEL.
