Course & Travel Notes

Plan for pleasant fall weather with typical October highs around 78°F and lows near 59°F, though rain occurs on about 22% of days so bring a light jacket and consider rain gear just in case. The race takes place at a low elevation of just 26 feet above sea level near the Gulf Coast. The 8:00 AM start comes shortly after sunrise at 7:05 AM, so you'll have good morning light for the run. Fly into Gulfport Biloxi International Airport (GPT), which is 16.8 miles from the Bay Saint Louis venue.
