Gulf Breeze runners looking for a Thanksgiving road trip can consider the 30A 10K Thanksgiving Day Races in Rosemary Beach, at the east end of South Walton. The 2026 edition is the 15th annual, and it is the RRCA Florida State Championship 10K this year. The nonprofit series supports local charities.
Because packet pickup is only the day before (Wednesday, Nov. 25, 11 a.m.–6 p.m. at The Big Chill) and Highway 30A closes from 7 to 10:30 a.m. on race day, out-of-area runners will likely need to arrive the night before.
