GCCA annual 5K Run for the Beads happening Saturday
This Saturday, put on our Mardi Gras beads and grab your sneakers for the Gulf Coast Carnival Association’s 11th annual 5K Run for the Beads.
Registration will begin at least one hour before race time at the Gulf Coast Carnival Association Office on Howard Avenue in Biloxi.
There is a $20 pre-registration fee per runner. $25 if you register the day of the run.
The race will end at the GCCA office/ Mardi Gras Museum with drinks and music.
For every 30 entrants, one pair of Brook’s running shoes will be given away at random. David Harris with the Gulf Coast Carnival Association said, “The 5K starts with the children’s one mile run at 8:45. The 5K starts around 9. Immediately after the 5K at 9, the children walking parade will start at 10.”
Keith Wade with the Gulf Coast Carnival Association said, “We are going to have music. We are going to have a food truck. The Biloxi Walking Club will follow the 5K. So, it’s just going to be a big fun-filled day in Downtown Biloxi.”
You can pre-register today by going to MSGCCA.org and click on the 5K tab or register onsite Saturday, beginning at 7:45 a.m.
