The Experience
Set in the laid-back beach town of Orange Beach, Alabama, the Perdido Beach Resort Half Marathon is a small, intimate race that draws around 160 finishers. The course is a paved loop along the Gulf Coast, taking runners over the iconic Perdido Pass Bridge multiple times for sweeping views of the water and white-sand beaches. The flat, fast profile makes it a great option for beginners or anyone chasing a personal best.
The race starts and finishes right at the Perdido Beach Resort, where the real celebration begins. After crossing the finish line on the sand, runners are treated to the ‘Bubbles on the Beach’ party, complete with champagne, brunch, and live music. The event supports the Jennifer Claire Moore Foundation, adding a meaningful purpose to the coastal fun. With a generous t-shirt, age-group awards, and a friendly, low-key atmosphere, this half marathon is a hidden gem for runners seeking a relaxing racecation by the sea.
