From the Organizer
On April 2-4, 2027 Gulfport, Mississippi will welcome athletes from around the world to CLASH Endurance Coastal Mississippi.
"Gulfport brings a unique Coastal personality: part laid-back, part vibrant city. Here, you won't feel like just another tourist; you'll feel like you've stumbled into a place that's welcoming, slightly edgy, full of local flavor, and rich in sea-salt air." - Play Coastal Mississippi
All races will start at the beautiful newly constructed Jones Park Pavilion adjacent to the Mississippi Aquarium. The backdrop of Gulfport Marina & Yacht Club, historic fishing/shrimp boats and white sandy beaches with grassy dunes (home to 26 miles of the longest man-made beach) are sure to create an unforgettable race weekend experience!

This race spans more than one sport — here’s a guide to each, so you can understand what’s involved and decide if it’s the right fit. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer’s event page.
Swim, bike, run — back to back. The sprint distance makes it far more accessible than most people think.
A swim followed by a bike — a triathlon without the run. Sprint to long-course, often alongside a tri at the same venue.
Run, bike, run. The multi-sport format without the swim — a great bridge between running and triathlon.
Open water races from 1 mile to marathon distance. Just you, the water, and whatever you've got left.
