From the white-sand shores of Big Lagoon State Park to the storied walls of Fort Morgan Historic Site, this 50 Mile and 50K journey is more than a race — it’s a coastal odyssey. Runners begin at sunrise beneath whispering pines and the salty breeze of the Gulf Coast. The air hangs thick with anticipation as feet press into soft sand and smooth coastal pavement, tracing the edge of emerald waters. Pelicans glide overhead. The rhythm of the tide sets the tempo. The course stretches west, hugging the raw beauty of the Gulf shoreline. Long, runnable sections invite you to find your stride, while rolling bridges and exposed causeways test both grit and focus. The sun climbs higher, casting a golden shimmer across the water — beautiful, relentless, unforgettable. For 50K athletes, the challenge is bold and bracing — a fast, scenic test of endurance where sea air fills your lungs and every mile feels earned. For 50 Mile runners, the day becomes an expedition. Miles stack quietly. Conversations fade. Determination takes over. The horizon feels endless, yet every step carries you closer to history. As you approach Fort Morgan, the silhouette of the stone fortress rises against the sky — a monument that has stood through centuries of storms and battles. Your final stretch echoes that resilience. Legs burning, heart pounding, you cross the finish line where land meets legend. Two states. Fifty miles of coastline. One unforgettable finish. This is not just a race. It’s a passage along the Gulf — wild, windswept, and deeply rewarding.
