Rock the Cause 2026

Lace up for a meaningful stride at the Rock the Cause 2026, a beloved 3.1-mile (5K) race set against the picturesque backdrop of Pascagoula, Mississippi, on Saturday, April 11, 2026. Kicking off from Pascagoula Beach Park at 7:00 AM CDT, this event offers a scenic and generally flat course, allowing participants to enjoy the coastal ambiance. While specific elevation details are not extensively published, the beach park setting suggests a fast and accessible route, potentially featuring refreshing breezes from the Gulf, which might add a unique challenge on exposed sections. Typical race day conditions in April offer ideal running weather, with historical highs around 77°F and lows around 56°F, and only a 13% chance of precipitation.

More than just a race, Rock the Cause is a powerful community event, marking its 13th annual edition in 2026. Every step taken supports Adrienne's House, the vital satellite domestic violence shelter program of the Gulf Coast Center for Nonviolence. Participants not only enjoy a fun and invigorating morning but also contribute directly to a crucial local cause. All registrants receive a commemorative race t-shirt, celebrating their involvement in this impactful event.
