A Race with Purpose: Supporting Youth Mental Health

We are proud to partner with Magic Sports, a leader in endurance event production known for delivering exceptional race experiences across the Southeast, and the Jennifer Claire Moore Foundation, whose work is essential to the well-being of Baldwin County’s youth. This race is more than just an event—it is an opportunity to create meaningful change, invest in the future of our youth, and celebrate the beauty of the Gulf Coast.”Jessie Radcliff, Chief Marketing Officer, Perdido Beach Resort
