Keesler Federal Mississippi Gulf Coast Marathon

About the event

Celebrate a decade of coastal running with the 10th Anniversary Keesler Federal Mississippi Gulf Coast Marathon, a Coastal Running Festival! 

This year, 'Cross the Coastline' and embark on a journey of achievement amidst breathtaking beach views.

Since its founding in 2016, the KFCU Mississippi Gulf Coast Marathon has showcased the vibrant local culture with a stunning beachside run from Pass Christian to Biloxi. Join us for an unforgettable weekend!

Kick off the festivities in Gulfport with Packet Pickup and grab your commemorative 10th Anniversary merchandise. Saturday features the Chevron Kids Marathon 1 Mile Run and the Hippie Fish 5K, both held at the Centennial Plaza Resort - Gulfport. Then, head to Keesler Federal Park for the exhilarating Fly Llama Grand Slam Beer Mile and Beer Mile Relays!

Sunday, as the sun rises over the Gulf, experience the Full and Half Marathons along the picturesque coastline. Runners who conquer the 5K on Saturday and a Sunday race earn the coveted Double Down challenge medal, a testament to their dedication.

The weekend culminates with a Finish Festival inside Keesler Federal Park. Enjoy hot food, cold beer, and the thrill of watching runners achieve their goals on the jumbotron. Join us as we 'Cross the Coastline' and celebrate 10 years of unforgettable running experiences!
