Second Street in Gulfport will close for portions of this weekend as athletes in the CLASH Coastal Mississippi Triathlon run along the route, a Facebook post from Second Street said. Residents are invited to cheer from front porches or yards as competitors pass through.
The post said Gulfport Police Department will close Second Street at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday. The run course runs on Second Street between 20th Avenue and Kelly Avenue, with run course times listed as Saturday, March 28, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., and Sunday, March 29, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The CLASH Coastal Mississippi Triathlon is a multi-sport competition that typically includes swimming, cycling and running and draws local athletes and spectators. Road closures for events such as this can affect traffic and access for nearby residents and businesses, and organizers often encourage spectators to watch safely from private property or designated viewing areas.
Officials and organizers did not provide additional details in the post. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
