Tunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk - Biloxi, MS
The event combines a 5K run or walk with a separate stair climb held at Margaritaville Resort Biloxi, located at 195 Beach Blvd., Biloxi, MS. The stair climb is symbolic and totals 110 floors achieved by climbing the resort stairwell five times (22 floors per ascent). Participants may choose the 5K, the stair climb, or both; choosing both carries an additional fee above a single event.

- Stair climb totaling 110 floors (five ascents of 22 floors)
Registration is available in multiple categories for adults, youth, children, military and first responders, and Jeep parade participants, with tiered pricing that increases at set intervals and on event day. Children under 12 may participate without mandatory registration; to receive a youth event T-shirt, online registration is required. Runners may select chipped bib timing; walkers are not timed.
Practical details provided to participants include early packet pick-up at Margaritaville Resort, an alternate packet pick-up area on event day, and the ability for another person to collect a packet with a copy of the registrant’s receipt. Water stations will be placed along the 5K route and at points in the stairwell. Strollers, wheelchairs, and backpacks are permitted; roller blades, bicycles, and pets are not allowed. Awards are planned for age groups, first firefighter in gear, first law enforcement officer in uniform, and overall fastest runner, along with other recognitions.
