The 13th Annual Round the Bay Relay and Ultra is in the books!! Thirty-three ultra runners completed the 36.8-mile course and 37 teams with a combined 300 runners completed the relay. I want to thank our sponsors, volunteers and participants for an outstanding race day. Profits from this race are used by the Northwest Florida Track Club to support local high school cross-country teams along with a high school shoe fund for runners with financial needs. The website has been tentatively updated for the 2024 race. Complete race results will be added soon. Once again, thanks to all who helped make this the outstanding race that everyone enjoys.
