This year\u2019s event is presented by <strong>Baptist Memorial Hospital-North Mississippi<\/strong>.  Baptist has been the presenting sponsor of the ever-growing race for all 24 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New for this year, the Oxford-Lafayette County Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce a new partnership with the<strong> Oxford YMCA<\/strong>. The Oxford YMCA is a non-profit organization with a mission to help strengthen our community.  Strengthening the community runs right in line with the Chamber\u2019s mission, therefore the Chamber is making plans this year to donate $1 of every race registration to YMCA\u2019s Annual Campaign.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chamber has a long standing relationship with the YMCA, with the Y being the host location  for the Double Decker Spring Run since it came to Oxford in 2013.  The YMCA has been a great partner for growing the race to this year\u2019s anticipated 1,800 runners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe YMCA Annual Campaign supports programs that we offer in the community,\u201d says <strong>Leslie Kennedy<\/strong>, Operations Director of the Y. <br> \u201cSome programs supported by the Annual Campaign include After-School, Summer Camp, Fins up for Fitness, and the Parkinson\u2019s Program.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Double Decker Spring Run will include three races: a 5K, 10K, and a one-mile Kids Fun Run.  Registration is now open for the races, which will begin at 7:30 am on<strong> North Lamar Boulevard <\/strong>at the Oxford YMCA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All race participants will receive a race t-shirt and backpack, plus a unique finisher\u2019s medal.  Awards are given to the males and females in a variety of age groups, as well as the overall first, second, and third place male and female in each race, and first place masters and grand masters male and female.  Following the art theme of the Double Decker weekend, the awards that are presented are each one-of-a-kind art creations by local artists, designed with the Double Decker theme in mind.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on the Spring Run, call the Chamber office at 662-234-4651 or visit the website DoubleDeckerSpringRun.com to register.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"25\" height=\"16\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/TheLocalVoiceLigature-25web.jpg?resize=25%2C16\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14544\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 24th Annual Double Decker Spring Run will be held in Oxford on Saturday, April 27, hosted by<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":238,"featured_media":75414,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[318],"tags":[14338,964,11426,10251,14339,14337,1276],"class_list":["post-75413","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-double-decker-2012","tag-10k","tag-5k","tag-baptist-memorial-hospital-north-mississippi","tag-double-decker-spring-run","tag-one-mile-kids-fun-run","tag-oxford-ymca","tag-oxford-lafayette-county-chamber-of-commerce"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/2019-04-24-Double-Decker-Spring-Run-.jpg?fit=620%2C349&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/238"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=75413"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75413\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/75414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=75413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thelocalvoice.net\/oxford\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=75413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
