🏅 WHAT TO EXPECT

Now, if you haven’t tuned out yet, be advised these events are no frills, low-key, casual, fun events. GREAT for first-timers, maybe not so great for a PR. This is not a certified or sanctioned course—meaning, among other things, NOT a Boston qualifier. Don’t expect much and maybe you won’t be disappointed.

🎁 WHAT YOU DO NOT GET

WHAT YOU DON’T GET: t-shirt, hat, socks, or any other apparel, great bling (actually, any bling), cute reusable race bag, age group awards, spectators lining the course, crowds cheering you in, hearty food at the finish, exciting music, and a party afterward, all on a certified course. There are plenty of other events out there for you.

🎖️ WHAT YOU DO GET

WHAT YOU DO GET: low entry fees, courses that are guaranteed not short, a simple finisher’s medal, a generous time limit, and a published finish time. But isn’t that all you really need? What do you do with all that other stuff anyway?

🏞️ COURSE DETAILS

COURSES: The courses are NOT certified--no Boston qualifier here. The courses are lap courses, meaning that you’ll do a double out-and-back multiple times. This includes street crossings each lap. The paved, urban run/bike trail is flat and largely shaded.

• Marathon: 12 laps
• Half Marathon: 6 laps
• 5K: 2 laps, approximately 1.55 miles each
• 10K: 4 laps, approximately 1.55 miles each

⏰ FINISHING

FINISH: When you finish, be sure to ring the bell and make sure the timer knows you are finished. Otherwise, you won't get an accurate time. Remember, we are hand-timed.

💧 AID AND SUPPORT

AID STATION: The aid station is at the start/finish of the loop course, which you will pass two times each lap. We will provide plenty of water, Gatorade, and soda, along with a variety of sweet and salty snacks. This is a cupless race. Bring your own hydration device.

☀️ HEAT CONSIDERATIONS

Florida is typically hot and humid. We will provide ice for your water/Gatorade, cooling towels, and salty snacks.

🔦 LIGHT REQUIREMENTS

Marathoners, 50Kers, and half marathoners will need a light for the first couple of hours. It won’t get light until around 6:40.

🚻 BATHROOMS AND DROP BAG

BATHROOMS: The bathrooms are a little walk from the start/finish, but you’ll pass them during each lap.

DROP BAG: The start/finish is in a small pavilion, where you may leave a drop bag.

🤝 VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

VOLUNTEERS: We always need volunteers. Each volunteer day earns one free race entry for long distances, or two free entries for short distances. Contact Bettie at bettiemw@gmail.com.
