The 5K and 10K events utilize a 3.11-mile out-and-back course. 5K runners complete this loop once, while 10K runners complete it twice. The half marathon and marathon courses use a distinct 3.28-mile out-and-back route. The half marathon requires four repetitions of this loop, and the full marathon requires eight. All distances have a 6-hour time limit. The course structure is straightforward, featuring repeated loops starting from the same trailhead.

The Powerade Panama City Beach Marathon starts and finishes at Pier Park, with runners completing a 26.2-mile race along Panama City Beach’s Gulf Coast. The event takes place in December and features a full marathon, half marathon, 5K, wheelchair races for the marathon and half marathon, and a Kids Fun Run. The participants range from competitive marathoners to families and novice runners. The certified marathon course is a Boston Marathon qualifier, and the race utilizes professional timing with RaceJoy tracking for spectators. The course is looped, centered around Pier Park and Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville, rather than a remote start or point-to-point finish. Thousands of local residents and visitors attend the race, which organizers call a Panhandle staple. Finishers in the full marathon, half marathon, and 5K receive medals, runners get a race shirt, and most aid stations provide GU Energy Gel while supplies last. After the races, Margaritaville hosts a post-race party with beer and gumbo. A portion of race proceeds benefits a local nonprofit organization.
