Egg Bowl Run Team

The Egg Bowl run is a tradition among the MSU and Ole Miss Army ROTC programs that began in 2013. A football is signed by the PMS and head football coaches of both schools and is taken on foot by a team of runners to the school hosting the Egg Bowl Game. The football begins its journey in either Starkville or Oxford and is handed off from one program to the other in Calhoun City. From Calhoun City, the ball is taken to the School where the Egg Bowl game will be played. The ball travels a total of 100 miles with MSU Cadets running the majority with about 60 miles and the Ole Miss Cadets only running about 40 miles. This is a great way for all of the Cadets, including the rival school, to get together and further build team work between each other. We would love to see everyone on the side lines cheering us on as we make this long journey!
