About the 16th Annual Round the Bay Relay and Ultra

The course loops around Choctawhatchee Bay on road, passing through a stretch of Gulf Coast towns and crossing several bridges along the way. The terrain is not flat: there are real hills and the route dips around bayous more than once. You can run it as part of a relay team or cover the whole loop solo as an ultra.
