About the Bay Saint Louis Cult Classics 5K
The race is based at the Mockingbird Cafe on a downtown street, so the crowd is right there at the beginning and end. The big draw is the costume theme: runners come dressed as characters from cult classic films, which means the field looks pretty wild by the time the gun goes off. The race benefits a charity that helps people with disabilities participate in endurance events.
Packet pickup is at the Mockingbird Cafe before the start, so there is no separate trip to make the night before.
