Brief Description

Run the only "mountain" on Florida's beautiful Gulf Coast! Blue Mountain Beach that is! Both the 1/2 marathon and 10K are run over Florida's Scenic 30A which splits sugar-white sand beaches and rare coastal dune lakes. Enjoy the beachside villages of Blue Mountain Beach, Grayton, and Seaside before and after the races. A one of a kind course!

Run Blue Mountain Beach

Both the 1/2 marathon and 10K begin and end at Florida's only "mountain" on the Gulf Coast....Blue Mountain Beach. Race down the Scenic Highway 30A between sugar sand beaches and rare dune lakes from Blue Mountain Beach through the cool beach town of Grayton Beach. Those running the 1/2 marathon will turn around at Watercolor before returning to finish on the "mountain." There is no better time to be on 30A and at the beach than the Fall!

Off to the Races

The 1/2 marathon will start at 7:00 a.m. with the 10K starting at 7:05 am. The races will start approximately 1.25 miles north of Blue Mountain Beach on 30A, run south (east) on 30A, turn right on Blue Mt. Beach Road, go left on Blue Lake Rd, right on 30A (recreational path at this point), right on Defuniak St to Grayton Beach. The 1/2 marathon continues through Grayton, left on Holtz, left on Banfill, left on Lydia Ave, right on Defuniak, right on 30A, to just at the Watercolor entrance where the runners turn around and then retrace their steps back to the finish. Though this is Florida, you'll find that this course rolls enough to keep it fun. Note that the 10K is out and back as well, following the same course but turning around and heading back just before reaching the Grayton Beach area. Both races end at the Blue Mountain Beach Road/30A intersection near Big Daddy's Bikes!
