About this race
Event Overview
A multi loop trail run through the beautiful Robinson preserve in Bradenton Fl. This course is full of wildlife, scenery (Tampa bay, Sky Way bridge and Anna Maria) and promises to deliver. This is a fantastic event for anyone local to the area and also an amazing destination race. We will be announcing sponsors, our Charity partner and partner hotels in the near future so keep an eye open. Follow us on Facebook and IG for all the need to knows.
Course Details
- Terrain: Expect to run on pavement, sand, and shell. A majority of the course is on sand and shell.
- Shoe Recommendations: Trail shoes are not required but suggested, as are gaiters.
- Water Requirements: ALL runners (except 4.35 1 loop) are required to start the race with a water bottle, belt, handheld, or vest.
- Aid Stations: First aid station is at the 2 mile mark where you will have water, Gatorade, soda, and snacks. Mile 3 will be a self-serve water stop.
Environmental Considerations
This is a preserve so we kindly ask that all athletes leave it like you found it, carry your trash with you until you reach an aid station. We want this event to continue, so don't leave gel packs or water bottles on the ground. This course was designed to be beginner friendly and also challenging to those who like to push their limits. It's a great event for anyone wanting to get into running trails, a Ragnar type event or using this as a warm-up to a bigger race.
