Skippin & Sippin PHun Walk

Proudly partnered with LuLu's Gulf Shores and Parrot Heads in Paradise (PHIP), Inc., Skippin & Sippin, Inc. welcomes Parrot Heads from across the country to Gulf Shores each October for the Annual Skippin & Sippin PHun Walk during Meeting of the Minds.

What began as the dream of one remarkable Mermaid Sister has grown into a meaningful tradition with a morning filled with hope, phriendship, and giving back.

This event brings together runners, walkers, bralunteers, breast cancer patients and survivors, sponsors, and supporters who believe in making a difference. Every registration helps provide hope, meaningful assistance, and lasting support to breast cancer patients throughout Gulf Shores, surrounding communities, and eligible Parrot Head members in good standing nationwide.

Important 2026 Event Update

Due to changes associated with commercial air service and the resulting increase in traffic in the area, our traditional 5K route is no longer available for this year's event.

After reviewing alternative options and prioritizing participant safety, we have made the decision to transition our traditional 5K into the 2026 Skippin & Sippin PHun Walk.

While this was certainly not the change we anticipated, keeping Skippin & Sippin at LuLu's Gulf Shores was incredibly important to us. LuLu's has become part of what makes this event so special, and we simply could not imagine Skippin & Sippin anywhere else.

Our proposed PHun Walk route will be just shy of one mile and will begin and end at LuLu's. Final route details will be shared once all necessary approvals are complete.

Already registered for the 5K? Your registration will automatically transfer to the PHun Walk. No additional action is required.

While the distance may be changing, the heart of Skippin & Sippin is not.
