Event overview
The Pensacola Double Bridge Run takes place on Saturday, February 7, 2026 in Pensacola, Florida. The event includes these distances:
- 15K
- 5K
- 5K WALK
The 15K course runs from downtown Pensacola across two bridges, over Pensacola Bay and Santa Rosa Sound, through the historic district, Bayfront Parkway, Gulf Breeze, and onto Pensacola Beach. The 5K travels from Gulf Breeze to Pensacola Beach on Santa Rosa Island and the Gulf Islands Seashore. The 15K start is at Blue Wahoos Stadium (301 W Main St.) and the 5K start is at 100 Daniel St., Gulf Breeze. Both races finish at the Pensacola Beach Boardwalk parking lot. The 15K requires runners to maintain a 14-minute-per-mile pace.
Logistics and services
Packet pickup and the race expo are held at Hilton Pensacola Beach on the days before the race; proxy pickup is available. All bibs use a disposable timing chip and races are scored using the IPICO system; age-category results use net time while overall awards use gun time. Aid stations provide spring water, medical support, and portable toilets (15K: near the 2-, 6-, and 8-mile marks; 5K: near the 2-mile mark). A clear, provided bag must be used for gear check; gear is transported from the start areas to the finish. All finishers receive a commemorative medal and participants receive a long-sleeve shirt while supplies last; shirt sizes can be changed in registration through Jan 10, 2026. There are no strollers, bikes, rollerblades, or dogs allowed in either race. Cash awards and team scoring apply to the 15K. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
