Details
The flat, sandy beaches of this tourist mecca along northwest Florida's
Gulf coast will be the setting for the inaugural running of the Run For
The Redfish Half Marathon, 5K & Kids' One-Mile Fun Run, which
will take runners entirely along the highway that runs right next to
the waves crashing into the shore along Panama City Beach, and will
double as a fundraiser for the Coastal Conservation Association, a
non-profit with chapters in 17 states that seeks to preserve coastal
fisheries and promote awareness about conserving marine environments.
From the starting line near Panama City's Pier Park, which lies at the
intersection of Front Beach Road and Pier Park Drive, the race takes
runners on an out-and-back route that unfolds entirely along Front
Beach Road, all the way northwest to where the road meets Carillion
Beach. Once runners hit the turnaround point, they begin running back
along the route they've just run all the way back to Pier Park, where
the finish line festivities will take place at Jimmy Buffett's
Margaritaville restaurant.
The Redfish Run's half marathon, 5K and kids' fun run will start at
8:00 AM, 8:30 AM and 10:00 AM, respectively, and race organizers plan
to have music playing for runners all along the course.
