That's it y'all!

As we wrap up this year’s 2026 Picayune Glow Run, we wanted to share a few numbers with you. We had:

542 registered runners.
98 sponsors and community partners.
45 Adopt-a-Member sponsors.
8 food trucks.
Almost 100 volunteers.

And honestly, 542 registered runners could have been even higher.

We had a line stretching out of Crosby Commons and finally had to stop registering people around 7:30pm because the races were getting ready to start, even though our original cutoff was 7:00.

And that volunteer number doesn’t even tell the whole story. Some people weren’t registered to volunteer at all. They saw our hands were full, jumped in and started helping wherever they were needed.

YOU are what made this night happen.

This was not something a handful of people pulled off. It took an entire community.

To every person who registered, donated, volunteered, sponsored, adopted a member, shared our posts, brought your family, worked a booth, handed out water, stayed late, cleaned up or simply stepped in when you saw we needed help — thank YOU!.

The Arc of Pearl River County and our members are incredibly grateful for every single person who poured into this event.

And while the Picayune Glow Run may be finished for this year, The Arc is not.

If you aren’t already following The Arc of Pearl River County on Facebook, please do. The proceeds from this event go right back into what we do throughout the year for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the community. We have no paid employees, we too are all just volunteers. So everything stays right here in the community, directly for those individuals who need it most.

We host monthly social events, dances, bingos, craft days and other activities for our members throughout the year.

If you know someone with an intellectual or developmental disability who needs support, or even something to do please contact us.

If you have a child or adult who could benefit from becoming a member of The Arc and participating in our events and programs, we would love for you to reach out.

The Picayune Glow Run happens once a year.

But The Arc of Pearl River is here all year.

Our doors are always open to the people and families who need us.

Thank you, We could not have done this without you.💛💚

That's a wrap! See y'all next year.

Say hi to Matt!!🫶🏼💚

Matt was working the night of The Picayune Glow Run: The Arc of PRC and couldn't make it.

We had an extra Glow Run shirt, so we put the names of our members in, who couldn't make it, and drew to see who would get it.

Matt WON!!

He was so excited, and then told us green is one of his favorite colors too. I think this shirt found exactly who it was supposed to go to.

Shout out to Allyson Penton and Roy Penton of Twice the Ice at 803 Memorial Blvd, Picayune, MS 39466.

They provided all of the ice for the evening including ice for runners, coolers, food trucks and vendors.

When you need ice go a little further to get ice from the ice machine across from Burger King. They are a proud supporter of The Arc of Pearl River County.

Thanks Allyson and Frank.

Sponsor Shout Out:

PIXEL NOLA this one is for you.

If you had a chance to stop by Pixel NOLA at the Picayune Glow Run, then you got to see firsthand what they bring to an event.

They do way more than just set up a photo booth.

They work weddings, birthdays, school events, corporate events, grand openings and pretty much any event where you want people to have something fun to do AND something to take home with them.

So if you have an event coming up, keep Pixel NOLA in mind. They were absolutely wonderful to have at the Glow Run, and we’re so thankful they chose to be part of our night.

Go check them out and show some love to another business that showed up for The Arc of Pearl River County.
