Vero Beach Octopus Ultra

Vero Beach, United States • 12-13 Jul 2025

The Vero Beach Octopus Ultra, held in Vero Beach, Florida, is a unique ultramarathon featuring a central base with eight out-and-back "Octo-Arms" trails. Distances range from a 5K dash to a full 100-mile race, with options including 50K, 50-mile, 100K, and a mini-ultra. Runners can earn an Octopus Buckle by completing all eight arms within 32 hours.

The course challenges participants with South Florida's heat, humidity, and diverse terrain. The event supports the Environmental Learning Center, which hosts the race base. While crew support is not mandatory, it is highly recommended due to long stretches without water access and the race's difficulty. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
