Overview
From the far west point of Fort Morgan, come run Alabama's longest contiguous stretch of coastline; all the way to Florida! On the beautiful, but brutal soft sands of Alabama's gulf coast, you'll endure the endless, but rewarding trek. Beginning with untouched, driftwood-strewn beaches, much like a place forgotten. All the way to the bustling "Resort-Lands" where children playing will be your most concerning obstacle. The regular beachgoers will have no clue you're in the most pain of your entire life while executing one of your greatest accomplishments: 32 miles on sand!
Course
THERE IS A ONE MILE TREK TO THE OFFICIAL START! You will start on the far west point of Fort Morgan Peninsula. There will be 6 aid stations, with 3 restroom spots. There are two mandatory bridge crossings. You are not allowed to swim these gaps! In accordance with both race rules, and local laws. These two points are very obvious, and will be signed, both by the race, and local enforcement. Not to mention, that pavement feels SO NICE after long stretches on soft sand. The two bridges are the only two places you are allowed to leave the sand. Anywhere else will result in disqualification. The official route is within the mean tidal range of the beach (the farthest waves crash up to). According to Alabama State Law, this area is public land. This rule will NOT be enforced unless you leave the sand entirely, or local authorities interject. Meaning, the entire beach is open for you to find "good" sand to run on. The race ends at the Florida State Line, where Flora-Bama bar-venue is.
Shuttles will be available from Flora-Bama to Fort Morgan Public Boat Launch
