Marathons in Destin
Upcoming events for runners Emerald Coast 2024
Many people (yours indeed included) picture a beach vacation with lots of lounging in the sun, playing in the waves, building sandcastles, reading, and eating great seafood.
Ah-Relaxing on the beach!
However, a special group of people think of a beach vacation and picture all the activities they can do while there.
- Swimming in the Ocean!
- Paddle Boarding!
- Kayaking!
- Running on the beach!
So, who among us plans a beach vacation while thinking, “I’m going to the beach to run in a race?” If you are one of these people, first and foremost, I salute you! Having the physical ability to complete such a feat is impressive! If you DO want to come to Destin to enjoy the last official month of summer and compete in (or be a spectator) a Triathlon, August is the month to do it!
On Tuesday, August 24th, the 27th Annual Sandestin Triathlon Race will lure 700 participants for a half-mile Gulf of Mexico swim, a 20-mile bike along the coast, and a 4-mile run through Sandestin’s beachside and bayside communities. Proceeds of the triathlon will benefit Sacred Heart Hospital of the Emerald Coast.
