On Land and Sea

Plenty of sports action is taking place along the Alabama Gulf Coast this month, spanning from land to sea and covering activities such as boating, fishing, baseball, tennis and even a duathlon.

Between October 12th and October 17th, two water-based events will take place: Thunder on the Gulf and the IFA Redfish Tour Gulf Division Fishing Tournament. The speed-boat-racing fun of Thunder on the Gulf runs from the 12th to the 17th. Then on the 16th and 17th, anglers will compete with each other to catch “the big one” in the IFA Redfish Tournament.

Also on the 16th is the Hot to Trot Reverse Duathlon (where participants bike 9.2 miles, run 5.6 miles, and then bike another 9.2 miles) and the NSA Gulf Coast Fall College Exposure Softball Tournament, in which 36 travel softball teams compete for champion status.

Tennis fans will want to check out the Alabama State Senior and Super Senior Tennis Championships October 21st to the 24th. This event involves over 400 Alabama athletes competing at three different tennis facilities. Then finish out the month with the USSSA Monster Bat Halloween Beach Baseball Tournament, in which more than 20 travel baseball teams compete over the Halloween weekend.

It’s going to be an active month! Visit the Alabama Gulf Coast Sports Commission website for more information.
