Description
LET'S RUN THE BEACH AGAIN!
Apparently, we really love running on the beach because we're coming back to organize the 2nd ANNUAL event! This beach run is scheduled for October 26th, and that is PERFECT running weather!
This is a BEACH RUN on Pensacola's beautiful beach (on the sand!). It starts and ends near the pier.
This event is designed for runners, beach-goers, and people looking for a fun challenge.
Check out the video and get inspired to run in the sand!
What do I get?
Every finisher will earn a custom medal and bib, a performance shirt, and a beautiful challenge along the beach.
What WON'T I Get?
A certified time. This is NOT a certified course. It's a beach run. A course of this nature can't be certified by the USATF and therefore runners will not receive an official time. We will, however, have a race clock for runner convenience (times won't be recorded).
What's Allowed?
- Headphones at appropriate volume levels (you must be able hear race officials).
- Service dogs.
- Running gels, nutrients, water bottles, etc.
What's NOT Allowed?
- Animals (except service dogs).
- Strollers (it's not easy trying to push a stroller on the sand, plus county officials won't allow it).
- Littering (keep our oceans and beaches clean!).
- Bandits (if you're not wearing a bib, you're not getting a medal! It's only fair to those who paid and registered).
The 2018 Post-Race Video!
The 2018 Pensacola Beach Autumn Beach Run was INCREDIBLE! These guys had a blast running on the sand! A little tough and challenging, but always a great time!
Parking
There's free parking near the pier. Please be aware - if you're coming from the Pensacola side, there is a $1 toll fee to cross the bridge into Pensacola Beach.
Pre-Race Packet Pick-up
Because of the location of this event, and the size of our audience, we WILL NOT have a pre-race packet pickup. Registered runners will be able to pick up their packets on race day one hour before start time.
Military Discount Available
We support our military service members, and we want to give back.
If you're a military service member, reservist, or a veteran of the U.S. military, you get a 15% discount on your registration. To qualify for this discount, you'll be required to show one of the following forms of identification to the volunteers at the registration tent. Without these documents, you will be banned from future NeoEndurance races.
- Military CAC ID (must not say "Civilian" or "Contractor")
- Retiree ID Card
- Veteran Affairs ID Card
- Driver's License with "V" symbol.
A DD-214 alone is not sufficient without photo identification that matches your document. In an effort to prevent fraud and abuse of this program, while ensuring that military service members and veterans are recognized for their service, you'll be asked to show one of the above forms of ID when you pick up your bib packet. Use the promo code MILITARY15 at checkout.
Weather
This is a rain or shine event. We don't anticipate a drastic change in temperature. It is, after-all, the "Sunshine State". However, in the unusual circumstance that this event is cancelled due to extreme weather (hurricane, lightning or heavy unrelenting downpour), there will be NO REFUND!
In the event of lightening in the area, we will postpone the event by an hour, possibly longer, or until the "all-clear" is given by park and race officials.
Other options may be discussed with the race director.
