The second annual Steam Whistle 12K was
a rousing success, with over 80 finishers, great weather, and good food. Thanks
to the high number of entries and the generosity of the sponsors, over
$2500 was raised for the Longleaf Trace. Sponsors
included Lamar County Board of Supervisors, Southeastern Concrete Company Inc.,
Hattiesburg Coca-Cola, and Smith Petroleum Co., Inc., and Subway of Oak Grove.
After the race awards were presented, Pine Belt Pacer President Jim Coll
