The Chappie James Bridge Run begins at the Pensacola side of the 3-mile Bay Bridge, leading runners and walkers directly across the water to Gulf Breeze. Both the 5K run and 5K walk commence at 7:30 a.m.; participants must check in before proceeding to the start.
The course, previously known as the Bridge to Bridge 5K, is a point-to-point route concluding at The Bridge Bar and Sunset Lounge. Following the race, buses will transport participants back to Pensacola. The post-race gathering features music and refreshments. This event is a collaboration with the Gulf Breeze Rotary Club, and a portion of each entry fee benefits the club's scholarship foundation.
