About the 2nd Annual Claudia’s Light 5k Run/Walk
This race in Bay Saint Louis honors a specific person and carries a clear purpose around mental health awareness. It draws runners and walkers alike, and the atmosphere reflects that weight in a genuine way. The course is a standard road distance, nothing technical, and the focus of the morning is as much on the cause as on the running itself.
The event is open to anyone, whether you are training seriously or just showing up to be present for something that matters. The spirit of the morning is about community solidarity, and the pace you bring is secondary to the reason you came.
