Vero Beach Octopus Ultra

The Vero Beach Octopus Ultra is a unique running event that originated in 2020, designed for both new and experienced ultra runners. Set in Vero Beach, Florida, the race features a centralized base with eight "Octo-Arms" for participants to complete various distances, including a 14.6-mile Ultra Teaser, a 50K, a 50-mile Ultra, and a 100K. Runners have 32 hours to finish, with the ultimate goal of completing all eight arms to earn the coveted Octopus Buckle.

The event also supports the Environmental Learning Center, promoting environmental stewardship. Participants are encouraged to have a crew for support, especially given the challenging conditions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
