Perdido Beach Resort Half Marathon, Fun Run & 5K

Embark on a picturesque running adventure at the Perdido Beach Resort Half Marathon, Fun Run & 5K, set for March 7, 2026, in beautiful Orange Beach, AL. This vibrant event invites runners of all levels to experience a truly unique coastal race, offering distances of 13.1 miles, 3.1 miles, and a 1-mile fun run. The course promises an exceptional journey along the stunning beachfront road, delivering breathtaking views of the Gulf, including an iconic stretch over the Perdido Pass Bridge. Known for its flat terrain, this race is ideal for those chasing a personal best or simply soaking in the scenic beauty. You'll finish triumphantly on the sandy beach itself, just steps from the Gulf behind the Perdido Beach Resort, where all race activities and staging occur.

What truly sets this race apart is the "Bubbles on the Beach" post-race celebration. After crossing the finish line, runners are treated to a lively party complete with brunch, champagne, festivities, and music, all with the soothing sounds of the ocean as your backdrop. Typical race day conditions in early March often bring pleasant highs around 70F and lows around 47F, with only about a 12% chance of precipitation, creating comfortable running weather. Beyond the stunning scenery and festive atmosphere, every step you take supports a meaningful cause: the Jennifer Claire Moore Foundation, dedicated to promoting the social and emotional well-being of youth in Baldwin County.

Whether you're a seasoned half marathoner or enjoying a casual jog, the Perdido Beach Resort Half Marathon, Fun Run & 5K combines the thrill of the race with the relaxation of a beach getaway. Aid stations will be present along the course to support runners. This event offers an unforgettable experience where coastal vibes meet a cause worth running for.
