🏃♂️🏄♀️ 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.
🏄♀️ BYOPB (Bring Your Own Paddle Board!)
Need a board? Contact Sip Paddle Rental in advance to arrange paddle board rental and delivery to the race start. Arrive early on race day to set up your board on the beach for a smooth transition.
