The legendary Chupacabra has made its way to the beach—and this time, you’re not running away from it. You’re chasing it for 31 miles.

Welcome to the Chupacabra 50K, a flat, fast and fully supported beachfront endurance event built for runners ready to go beyond the half marathon, chase a new distance, or take on their first ultra.
