Vero Beach Octopus Ultra

The Vero Beach Octopus Ultra is a unique ultra-running event that originated in 2020, designed to challenge participants with a centralized course featuring eight out-and-back segments, known as Octo-Arms. Runners can choose from various distances, including a 14.6-mile Ultra Teaser, a 50K, a 50-mile Ultra, and a 100K, with a 32-hour time limit to complete the full course. The event takes place at the Environmental Learning Center, with a portion of proceeds supporting environmental education.

While crew support is not mandatory, it is highly recommended due to the challenging conditions of South Florida's heat and terrain. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
