Burn Your Half Off Florida, An Awesomesauce Event

Event Overview

Are you team heat or team humidity?

Either way, you're gonna sweat. You're gonna get toasty. Some people think it's crazy, or absurd, or unhealthy to run in this kind of weather. Heat, humidity, sweat, dehydration, sunshine, rain, summer in Florida could be anything...except cold. It's not gonna be cold. We promise.

We don't call it BURN Your Half Off for nothing!

Aid Stations and Support

If you’ve never done a lapped course before, we realize that to some, that sounds like not a lot of fun. To us, and to the people who have been running with us for years, what that really means is: lots of funny signs, and twelve stops at the aid station that’s stocked with things like drinks, ice, BANANA SMOOTHIES (no dairy, we just make 'em with ice so you don’t have to eat hot mushy bananas), salty snacks, sunscreen, fruit, and all the other fun stuff that we put on our aid station tables, along with the cowbells and happy human crew that are ubiquitous with Awesomesauce races, will all never be more than one mile away.

Race Environment

• Atmosphere: Our races are super low-key and non-competitive: we prefer to race you vs. you, not you vs. anyone else.
• Time Limit: There is a 4 hour time limit for all distances.
• Walkers Welcome: We measure the distances by DISTANCE, not by the amount of time it takes for you to cover the distance.
• Race Capacity: The race has a hard cap, and once it is full, it is full.

Registration Information

Your registration fee includes entry into the race distance of your choosing, race swag (standard race swag is a beach towel, but we do have some alternative swag if that’s not something you want), finisher medal for all distances, and our usual aid station setup including Gatorade, water, Gu, snacks and post-race food.

If you are feeling good and want to go further, you just pay the difference in your distance when you finish. If you are feeling bad and need to stop, you will still get credit for the distance you cover and you'll still get a medal!

Policies and Safety

• Refund Policy: Registration fees and add-on fees are final and are not refundable or transferable for any reason.
• Weather Conditions: The races will go on rain or shine, but we do not run if there is lightning or dangerous weather conditions.
• Personal Responsibility: It will probably be HOT on race day. It will probably be HUMID on race day. It is YOUR responsibility to take care of yourself in the climactic conditions.
• Race Adjustments: We do give credit for distance covered, so if things don’t go so well, you can change race distances mid-race to something shorter and still earn a medal and a finish time.
