About this race
Both races start and finish at 9 Toes Brewery in Pass Christian, Mississippi, indicating the atmosphere of St. Paul’s Carnival 5K. The event, presented by St. Paul’s Carnival Association as Runjour: Le Tour de Pass, features an 8:00 AM 5K and a 9:00 AM Le Petit Runjour 1-Mile Fun Run. It is designed for runners and walkers, serving as a kickoff to summer day festivities rather than a stand-alone road race.
The 5K follows an out-and-back course with a water station at the turnaround, and water and Gatorade available at the finish. Registration includes a custom Runjour water bottle, all 5K finishers receive a participation medal, and participants are encouraged to wear French-inspired race-day style. Following the run, the day includes food, refreshments, awards, complimentary beer for participants 21 and older, Blessing of the Fleet festivities, and a Carnival Block Party. Proceeds support St. Paul’s Carnival Association, funding local traditions, community events, and Carnival celebrations.
