Description
2011 Blue Mountain Beach Half Marathon & 10K:
Run the only Run Blue Mountain Beach1Both the 1/2 marathon and 10K begin and end at Florida's only "mountain" on the Gulf Coast....Blue Mountain Beach. Race down the Scenic Highway 30A between sugar sand beaches and rare dune lakes from Blue Mountain Beach through the cool beach town of Grayton Beach. Those running the 1/2 marathon will take in Seaside and Watercolor before returning to finish on the "mountain." There is no better time to be on 30A and at the beach than the Fall!Off to the Races2Both races start at 7:00 a.m. The races will start at Blue Mountain Beach on Blue Mountain Road, go left on Blue Lake Rd, right on 30A, right on Defuniak St to Grayton Beach...the 10K heads back here. The 1/2 marathon continues through Grayton, left on Holtz, left on Banfill, left on Lydia Ave, right on Defuniak, right on 30A, to Seaside where the runners will then retrace their steps back to the finish. Though this is Florida, you'll find that this course rolls enough to keep it fun.30A 5K & Kid's Run3On Saturday, October 15, 2011, we will hold the 30A 5K and Kid's Run.
