Vero Beach Octopus Ultra

The Vero Beach Octopus Ultra is an exciting ultra-running event taking place in July 2025, designed for both novice and experienced runners. Originating in 2020, the race features a unique format with a centralized base station and eight out-and-back "Octo-Arms," allowing participants to choose from various distances, including 50K, 100K, and 100 miles. Runners have 32 hours to complete their chosen distance, with a special Octopus Buckle awarded to those finishing all eight arms. The event also supports the Environmental Learning Center, promoting environmental stewardship. Participants can expect a diverse course that includes beach, trails, and sandy roads.
