Mississippi Gulf Coast Marathon

The Mississippi Gulf Coast Marathon delivers a fast, coastal course with sharp organization and strong regional identity. Runners tackle flat, USATF-certified routes along the Gulf shoreline—26.2 miles from Pass Christian or 13.1 miles from Gulfport—finishing in Biloxi at Keesler Federal Park. Saturday offers a point-to-point 5K ending at Margaritaville Resort and a Kids Marathon, followed by the F.E.B. Beer Mile and relays. The Double Down challenge rewards those who complete both a Saturday and Sunday race with an extra medal. Every finisher crosses the line in view of the jumbotron, backed by live tracking, custom medals, and a finish festival with hot food, beer, and crowd support.
