Event summary
Join us for the Miles That Matter Community Fun Run on Saturday, August 29, 2026, in beautiful Bay St. Louis, Hancock! This uplifting event kicks off at 7:00 AM at Mockingbird Café and invites participants of all ages and paces to walk or run an approximate distance of 3 miles, with the freedom to choose your own distance. It's not just about movement; it's about making a difference!
This month, the community will come together to support the Sleep in Heavenly Peace Bedding Drive, collaborating with the Rotary Club of Bay St. Louis and the Hancock County Library System. Bring a new twin-size bedding item, such as sheets, comforters, or pillows, to help ensure that every child has a bed of their own. Whether you choose to walk, run, scoot, or roll, everyone is welcome—including kids, strollers, and dogs! After the fun run, enjoy refreshing mimosas and water while connecting with fellow community members. Join us in making local impact—because every mile counts and every child deserves a good night's sleep!
