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!

    🍌🏃 About the Event

    This is a fun run event. There will be a time clock and arch, however this event will not be officially timed.

    This event will not cross any public roads. We will start at Point Cadet Park, go out and back on the bridge, and finish were we stared.

    The Biloxi Banana Run is a high-fun, zero-pressure, family-friendly run/walk/social where pace doesn’t matter — but smiles, costumes, and ridiculous banana energy absolutely do.

    This is not about speed.

    This is about photos, games, laughs, and doing something memorably fun together.

    Pick your banana adventure:

    🍌 Run the 5K

    🍌 Walk a shorter distance

    🍌 Go to the middle of the bridge for epic group photos

    🍌 Skip the miles and come just for the games & social

    🍌 Cheer, laugh, and cause potassium-powered chaos

    All paces. All faces. All banana energy welcome.

    👕🍌 Costume Info

    Yes — costumes are encouraged. The more ridiculous, the better.

    🍌 Banana suits available at Fleet Feet and through online registration (while supplies last)

    🍌 Wear yellow

    🍌 Dress like a banana

    🍌 Bring a banana prop

    🍌 Create your own masterpiece of banana fashion

    Pre-ordered suits: pick up the week of the event.

    Limited morning-of extras may be available — but don’t count on it, you slippery fruit.

    🕘 ⏰ Event Day Schedule — April 25

    6:30–7:30 AM — Check-In & Banana Gathering

    📸 Costume photos, laughs, stretching, and banana roll call
