Vero Beach Octopus Ultra

Vero Beach, United States • 11-12 Jul 2026

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 complete various combinations of arms to achieve different race lengths, with a 32-hour cutoff for all distances.

The course challenges participants with South Florida's heat, humidity, and diverse terrain. The event supports the Environmental Learning Center, where the race base is located. While crew support is not mandatory, it is highly recommended due to long waterless sections and race difficulty. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
