Skippin & Sippin 5K & PHun Walk/Run

Event Overview

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 5K & PHun Walk/Run 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.
