Heroes celebrated with 5K and Fun Run in Bay St. Louis – WXXV News 25

Saturday, the Gulf Coast got together to celebrate the real-life superheroes keeping a watchful eye over the lower six counties.

The Superhero 5k in Bay St. Louis honored Lt. Michael Boutte and lineman Cayce Seal and was also a show of support for both professional and nonprofessional heroes and caregivers.

Runners wore their super hero outfits, but that was only the start of the festivities. Visitors got their fill of crawfish, drinks, and live music until the evening. Mississippi Heroes Director Katherine Sutton said, So this was actually our official first year. So, i think people came out to celebrate Michael Boutte and Cayce Seal. And then we had some nurses that came out to celebrate professional caregivers, and we had some family caregivers that came out. Its an event we want to keep growing and just to support and to share some love and appreciation for those in the community that do so much for others.

The Coast still mourns the passing of Lt. Boutte, who was shot last year in the line of duty, and Seal, who died in a work accident last year.
