Mississippi Gulf Coast Marathon

Join the Run for the Coast Charity Program for the 2023 Mississippi Gulf Coast Marathon.

Run for the Coast is the official charity program of the Mississippi Gulf Coast Marathon, aimed at raising funds to support local charities across the Mississippi Gulf Coast and the state of Mississippi. Our goal is to raise $100,000 annually, and we need your help to make it happen!

As an Official Charity Partner, you'll have the chance to recruit a team of runners/walkers who commit to raising a minimums for your charity by race day ($250 for Saturday race, $400 for Sunday races).

All of the money raised through the Run for the Coast charity program will be donated directly to our selected charity partners, ensuring that your fundraising efforts go directly to supporting those in need. So, what are you waiting for? Join Run for the Coast today and make your miles count for a better Mississippi!
