Runner Personas
in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach
We welcome every kind of runner in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach!
Our shores host several races throughout year that bring all sorts of athletes to our shores. We’re here to tell you about the type of racer you might “run into” while participating. Take a look and let us know: Do any of these runner personas sound like you?
The New Runner
The newbie is always a welcome addition to Run The Beach. With mostly flat trails, even a first-time runner can compete in the series with ease. You’ll find other newbies to bond with, and you may even get set up with our next runner persona!
The Family Man (or Woman)
We love the family man (and woman)! Not only do they bring a group with them to run, but it’s often quite a diverse group. From very young (perhaps a parent runs with a stroller) to great-grandparents looking to stretch their legs rather than break a record, the racers span all ages and backgrounds. Our half-marathon course is ADA-accessible, and we’re proud of all the participants, no matter their abilities or goals.
