The MS Gulf Coast Team in Training teammates training for the San Diego marathon would like to invite you to participate in our first "Rails to Shells" 5K & 1 Mile Health & Fitness Run/Walk scheduled for April 22 at Marshall Park in Ocean Springs, MS. Proceeds will benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of MS (LLS). Marshall Park is located on the southwest corner of Hwy 90 and Washington Ave. behind the BancorpSouth building. Coming from I-10, take the Ocean Springs exit for 609 south. This will take you to Hwy 90. Cross Hwy 90 and you will see the park's white gazebo on the right. From Hwy 90, head west to the intersection of Hwy 90 and Washington Ave. Make a left onto Washington and you will see the park on the right. Early registration prior to April 15th is $15 for adults and $10 for children under 12. Children in strollers are free. Registration the day of the race is $17 for adults and $12 for children under 12. This is an untimed charity event. However, trophies will be presented to the first three male & female finishers in the 5K and 1 Mile, first three boy & girl finishers in the 1 Mile, participation ribbons to all children, a plaque to the team with the most participants and a plaque to the team collecting the most donations for LLS. We are encouraging team participation in the walk and run. In addition, each participant will receive a goodie bag. A water station will be located at the 5K turnaround and Powerade, water, and fruit will be available at the finish.
