Standouts

---

The 2026 Mississippi Gulf Coast Marathon is a flat, fast Boston qualifier on beachfront Highway 90 from Pass Christian to Biloxi. It is USATF certified with a 6-hour time limit.

Why attend here

December on the Mississippi Gulf Coast means mild, pleasant weather for a flat, ocean-hugging run along Highway 90, with the Gulf on your right the whole way. After you cross the finish line in Biloxi, reward yourself with a stroll along the Biloxi Lighthouse and a plate of fresh Gulf shrimp or oysters at a local seafood shack.

Course

The point-to-point course starts in Pass Christian and runs almost entirely along Highway 90, the beachfront boulevard, tracing the Gulf of Mexico shoreline east through Long Beach and Gulfport before finishing at Keesler Federal Park in Biloxi. For nearly the whole 26.2 miles you have flat, open road with unobstructed beach and water views on your right.
