The Bay Saint Louis Sprint Triathlon is the 11th annual USAT-Sanctioned Sprint Triathlon from Bay Saint Louis Races on July 11, 2026 in Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi.   This race course is one of the few in the world held entirely along a scenic waterfront.  The course consists of an 800-yard near-shore swim; a 15-mile bike ride along Beach Boulevard with only 1 turn, and a 3.1-mile run along the Beach Boardwalk.  Whether you are a beginner looking for a straight-forward course for your first tri or a seasoned Ironman who wants to see what your bike can do on a fast course, this race is for you!
