Bay St. Louis Turkey Trot 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run

A Thanksgiving-morning tradition now in its 15th year, the Bay St. Louis Turkey Trot sends runners and walkers through historic downtown and along Beach Boulevard on a certified 5K route, with a 1-mile fun run for kids and casual participants. The 5K registration includes a t-shirt, brunch and beverages, and top finishers are rewarded with traditional Thanksgiving food items. A distinctive twist lets participants direct their support to the charity of their choice, keeping the give-back spirit personal. Starting at 8 a.m. before holiday meals begin, it is a wholesome, all-ages way to move, gather with neighbors and kick off Thanksgiving on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
