Race Review by Maureen Bowen, official Fifty States HALF Marathon Club member:

Long Beach Carnival Half Marathon Review (Gulfport MS) - 200-300 participants (4 hour limit but fast field) flat flat flat - out and back along 90 - roads closed - great free pasta dinner and shirt - food at end of race as well. Area has plenty of hotels and great food. If you want a PR in February - run don't walk to this one. Highly recommended!
