About the Event

🏃‍♂️🏄‍♀️ The Bay Saint Louis Run+SUP

Saturday, August 8, 2026 • 7:00 AM

Washington Street Pavilion • Bay Saint Louis, MS

Join us for a one-of-a-kind coastal race in beautiful Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi—ranked in the Top 5 of America’s Best Coastal Small Towns by USA Today!

Now in its fourth year, the Bay Saint Louis Run+SUP combines a 5K run along the scenic beach sidewalk with a 1-mile stand-up paddleboard (SUP) race. This exciting event is hosted by the Bay Saint Louis Running Company and features chip timing, a continuous transition from run to paddle, and individual and relay categories.

Participants can compete solo or as part of a 2-person relay team—one teammate runs, the other paddles. The 5K is an out-and-back route on the beach sidewalk. The 1-mile paddle heads out, then south, parallel to the shoreline, before returning.
