ROUND THE BAY 2025 AUG. UPDATE

​The preparations for this year's race are in full swing. We have made some significant additions to this year's race that should be beneficial to the runners.
NEW INFORMATION:
1. New starting line. The race will begin in front of The Island hotel on the southside of Highway 98 (The Elks Lodge is on the northside 200 yards to the east), Starting at The Island will give us a pre-dawn lighted area for early starters, a lobby to get out of the weather before starting and available rest rooms. This is a huge benefit for our ULTRA runners.
2. Runners will use the new Bridge to Bridge Bike Path across Okaloosa Island, the first four plus miles of the race. It's located on the south side of 98 and is 5-10 yards away from the road. After entering Destin, runners will move to the northside and follow the traditional route.
3. We have added MAP MY RUN to help runners with directions.
4. Relay runners will now sign up on Runsignup.com instead of active.com. 
5. We have added a new social event for Saturday evening at The Island's back deck which overlooks the Gulf of America. 
6. The Bloody Mary Recovery Run will no longer use The Oasis Room, but we will have a first-floor hotel room that opens to the back deck. 

Ultra registration is open.
Relay registration opens August 1st on Runsignup.com .
Hotel accommodations are updated on the Hotel Accommodations page.
