Round The Bay Relay and Ultra

Round the Bay Relay and Ultra is a 36.8-mile race around Choctawhatchee Bay on Florida’s Emerald Coast, encompassing Fort Walton Beach, Destin, Niceville, Valparaiso, Shalimar, and surrounding areas. The 15th annual event begins at The Island, the host hotel and new starting line, offering two options: a six-leg relay or a full ultra. The course features seven bridges, nine hills, four bayous, and sweeping bayfront scenery. The Island hosts post-race festivities with live music, food, and drinks, plus special hotel rates. Ultra finishers receive a commemorative growler, and both formats may include branded swag. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
