Special Thanks
This event depends on our fantastic sponsors and volunteers. Without either we would not be able to put on such a great race. Our generous sponsors are listed below and deserve our gratitude.
Pensacola Beach is owned by Escambia County, Florida, and is under the direction of the Santa Rosa Island Authority (SRIA). They are the governing body on the Island and are an essential component in assuring that we have well organized, safe race. In addition to safety they provide funding as a Sponsor of the event.
Situated along eight miles of white sand beaches within the Gulf Islands National Seashore, Portofino Island offers the perfect balance of indulgence and natural beauty. Portofino’s protected shoreline offers endless opportunities for recreation and rejuvenation on, in, or around the waters of the Gulf of Mexico or the Santa Rosa Sound.
