Emerald Coast Ultra
The Emerald Coast Ultra is a coastal ultramarathon held on 12/12/2026 in Pensacola, Florida, with a listed address at 12301 Gulf Beach Highway. The course runs along the Gulf shoreline from Big Lagoon State Park to Fort Morgan Historic Site and crosses two states.
Runners start at sunrise beneath pines and a Gulf breeze. The route follows white-sand beaches and coastal pavement, and it includes rolling bridges and exposed causeways. Sea air and coastal scenery are recurring elements, and birds such as pelicans are noted overhead.
The event offers multiple race formats:
- 50 Mile solo
- 50K solo
- 50 Mile Relay
- 50K Relay
The 50K is described as a fast scenic test of endurance along the coast. The 50 Mile distance is presented as a longer expedition that accumulates miles and time on the route. The finish is at Fort Morgan, where the stone fortress marks the course end.
The description emphasizes the coastal nature of the course, varied surfaces from sand to pavement, and the presence of bridges and causeways. Distances include both solo and relay options. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
