COASTAL MISSISSIPPI
GULFPORT
On April 2-4, 2027 Gulfport, Mississippi will welcome athletes from around the world to CLASH Endurance Coastal Mississippi.
"Gulfport brings a unique Coastal personality: part laid-back, part vibrant city. Here, you won't feel like just another tourist; you'll feel like you've stumbled into a place that's welcoming, slightly edgy, full of local flavor, and rich in sea-salt air." - Play Coastal Mississippi
All races will start at the beautiful newly constructed Jones Park Pavilion adjacent to the Mississippi Aquarium. The backdrop of Gulfport Marina & Yacht Club, historic fishing/shrimp boats and white sandy beaches with grassy dunes (home to 26 miles of the longest man-made beach) are sure to create an unforgettable race weekend experience!
The swim will utilize a protected saltwater course in the Gulf of America adjacent to the newly rebuilt Gulfport Municipal Marina. Temperatures in March range from 62 to 72 degrees F.
The traffic controlled bike course will take athletes East from Jones Park along Beach Rd (US-90) toward Biloxi on a flat and fast, coastal ride.
A scenic run will wind through a variety of Gulfport’s coastal neighborhoods, showcasing local southern hospitality and support, a quality in which the area has become known.
