Runners for the 2025 Publix Pensacola Double Bridge Run 15k presented by aDoor Real Estate will get an added bonus this year — shelter from the cool coastal breeze while they are inside Blue Wahoos Stadium. Runners have typically had to brave the chilly temps outside the stadium while waiting for the race to start.
The Pensacola Double Bridge Run, which draws runners from all over the U.S. and is dubbed “the race with a view,” is one of the premier 15K races in the country where runners cross over two bridges over Pensacola Bay and Santa Rosa Sound.
Shannon Hannah, Events Manager for the Pensacola Blue Wahoos, said the partnership is a perfect fit.
“We are thrilled to welcome Pensacola Sports and their runners to the stadium on race day this year,” said Hannah. “The stadium was built as a community space and this aligns with our mission perfectly. We can’t wait to cheer everyone on.”
The race follows a picturesque route through the historic district, along Bayfront Parkway, over the General Chappie James bridge through Gulf Breeze and finishes at the Pensacola Beach Boardwalk. An after-party with awards, music, food and drink give runners an opportunity to celebrate their accomplishment with their toes in the sand.
“The race start will be in the same place as it has always been, but now runners will be corralling inside the stadium,” said Amy Marquez, Pensacola Sports Director of Events. “We are thrilled to bring a new element to this iconic race and are excited for this partnership with the Wahoos.”
