Event summary
Join us for the Miles That Matter Community Fun Run on Saturday, August 29, 2026, in the charming Bay St. Louis, Hancock! Kicking off at 8:00 AM from the Mockingbird Café, this relaxed, untimed event is all about community, movement, and making a positive impact. Participants can enjoy a scenic 3-mile run or walk (or choose your own distance) while supporting a worthy cause. This month, we're partnering with the Rotary Club of Bay St. Louis and the Hancock County Library System to support the Sleep in Heavenly Peace Bedding Drive, ensuring that every child has a bed of their own.
Bring your family, friends, and even your furry companions for a day of fun! Kids, strollers, and dogs are all welcome. To make a difference, we ask participants to bring a new twin-size bedding item for donation, such as sheets, comforters, blankets, pillows, or mattress protectors. Can't bring a donation? No problem! We’d still love to have you join us. After the run, enjoy mimosas and water while connecting with fellow community members. Together, let's create community miles that truly matter and help local children sleep soundly!
