Courses de 5K près de D'Iberville

The Bay Saint Louis Cult Classics 5K takes place in late October in Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi. It starts and finishes at the Mockingbird Cafe on 2nd Street. The Bay Saint Louis Running Company organizes the race, which embraces its movie theme from the outset: participants are encouraged to wear costumes of cult classic film characters. The route starts and ends at the cafe, simplifying the setup and keeping it centered in town. Costumes can be inspired by 80s heroes, sci-fi legends, or comedy characters, blending the race with a movie-themed gathering. The event also collaborates with Ainsley's Angels of South Mississippi, with race entries supporting their efforts to enable people with disabilities to participate in endurance events along the Gulf Coast.

La Gulf Coast Veterans Association 5k Run/Walk + 1 Mile Fun Run a lieu un samedi matin à Long Beach, Mississippi. Le départ est donné au Long Beach Town Green. Le 5K démarre à 8h00, la 1 Mile Fun Run à 9h30, et la remise des prix est prévue à 10h00. L'événement propose un 5K classique, un Heavy Load 5K, et une course d'un mile plus courte pour les familles. Le parcours fait une boucle avec départ et arrivée au Town Green, histoire de rester dans l'ambiance du parc avant et après la course. Dans la catégorie Heavy Load, il faut que les femmes portent un minimum de 12 pounds et les hommes un minimum de 20 pounds, en utilisant un gilet tactique, des plaques ou un sac à dos. Des récompenses sont prévues pour les meilleurs coureurs et coureuses au scratch, les vainqueurs par catégorie d'âge, et les premiers de la course Heavy Load. Tous les finishers reçoivent un t-shirt, de la nourriture est offerte après la course, et 95% des bénéfices nets et des dons vont aux vétérans de la Mississippi Gulf Coast.

The Bay St. Louis Turkey Trot begins and ends at the Bay St. Louis Train Depot on Depot Way in downtown Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. This Thanksgiving morning race features a 5K run/walk at 8:00 a.m. and a 1 Mile Fun Run at 9:00 a.m., allowing families to select either a standard short race or a leisurely mile. Both races are open to participants aged 1 to 100, indicating the event is designed for a wide local audience, not exclusively competitive runners. Race-day registration and packet pickup occur at the Train Depot, with awards presented at 9:30 a.m. The 5K awards the top three overall male and female finishers, the top masters male and female, and the top three finishers in five-year age brackets. A unique detail is the prize structure: first place receives a turkey, second place receives stuffing, and third place receives cranberry sauce. The event also connects the holiday theme to charitable giving, with proceeds supporting a charity selected by each participant.

The 12th event in the Running for Children's Rights to Both Parents series takes place in Mississippi. Bob, founder of Mothers and Fathers Truly Matter, will run a half marathon, and supporters can join virtually from any location. This series is a 50-state half marathon effort, with one race held each month. Participants can run, walk, or move in their own communities to support the cause, as the event does not center on a single public course or start line. The series aims to raise awareness about parental alienation, family court practices that separate children from a parent, and the necessity for children to have reasonable access to both parents. It highlights that unnecessary parent-child separation can lead to long-term emotional, psychological, and developmental harm. Proceeds from this Mississippi run will directly benefit Mothers and Fathers Truly Matter. Contributions will fund a national advisory board of legal and mental health professionals, a public awareness campaign, research into custody trends and parental alienation, and educational materials for families.
