The Longleaf Trace will host and celebrate its 10^th Anniversary on Saturday, September 4, 2010 at Gateway-Hattiesburg.  The celebration occasion will also recognize and honor those founders whose efforts led to the Longleaf Trace becoming a reality. 

There will be an assortment of events for bikers, bladers, runners, both young and old, athlete and impaired, throughout the morning hours with activities for kids also. All participants will receive a free commemorative t-shirt and drink/food (hot dogs, etc.) There will also be drawings for associated merchandise.

The events will conclude with the honoring of those founders whose vision became a reality with the Longleaf Trace.
