Current & Future State of Healthcare in Our Community

The hospital has been named a 100 Top Hospital® by Truven Health Analytics and Thomson Reuters for the past four years and five times since opening in 2003. |

Combining a 2 mile beach run with a 2 mile SUP Board race across Western Lake in beautiful Grayton Beach State Park, the Inaugural South Walton Run/SUP Series will be a staple for the athletic community for many years to come!
Divided into 3 divisions with 4 heats, Run/SUP affords an opportunity for all. From Youth to Elite, with two standard heats in between, everyone can participate. And if you think you'd rather just watch the excitement, there will be several different viewing areas situated around the park to cheer on your favorite athlete.
The Reception/Awards Ceremony will be held at Pandora's of Grayton Beach post-race with food, drink and live music provided. And to those football fans out there, don't worry, we'll have the games on so you don't miss a snap!
With several major SUP Board manufacturers involved, don't fret about not owning a SUP Board yourself; we'll have rentals available for the day of the race. Just be sure to select that you will need a board provided.
