🏖 Run the Coast. Paddle the Bay. Conquer Both.
The Bay Saint Louis Run+SUP is back — the Gulf Coast’s one and only Run + Stand Up Paddleboard Challenge!
Start your morning at the Washington Street Pavilion with a 5K out-and-back run along the beach, then grab your board for a 1-mile paddle across the beautiful Bay Saint Louis waters.
