Miles that Matter - Community Fun Run

Lace up for a meaningful morning at the Miles that Matter - Community Fun Run, a vibrant 5K event taking place on Saturday, February 28, 2026, in the charming coastal city of Bay St. Louis, MS. This untimed loop run/walk, hosted by the Bay Saint Louis Running Company and The Mockingbird Café, emphasizes community, movement, and making a tangible local impact. Participants will start and finish at the inviting Mockingbird Café, where the post-race celebration includes refreshing mimosas and juice.

This event stands out for its inclusive atmosphere, welcoming runners, walkers, scooters, and rollers of all ages and abilities, including kids, strollers, and even furry friends. More than just a race, the Miles that Matter is a dedicated fundraiser, with 100% of its proceeds directly benefiting the Bay-Waveland School District Lunch Gap Account to ensure students have access to the meals they need. The course, a relaxed loop through picturesque Bay St. Louis, offers an accessible experience for everyone.

Anticipate pleasant typical race day conditions, with historical weather for late February showing comfortable highs around 68°F and lows around 50°F, alongside a low 14% chance of precipitation. This creates an ideal setting to enjoy the scenic surroundings and community camaraderie. Join fellow participants in Bay St. Louis to move for a cause, celebrating fitness and local impact where every mile truly matters.
