Description

The Race for the Bays will occur on the last day of National Estuaries Week. This is a fun way to close out a week of appreciation for our estuary and natural resources by running through Conservation Park that was created to rehydrate wetlands using the City of Panama City Beach’s reclaimed water. The City employes forestry management practices and wetland protection that will have lasting benefits to the St. Andrew Bay. Proceeds benefit the St. Andrew and St. Joseph Bays Estuary Program.
