🍌🏃 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.
