🏞️ COURSE

Strollers and costumes are allowed. Children must run or walk the entire course on their own feet to register and receive a medal and race shirt.

Water Stations: There will be water stations at the start, 1 mile and finish.
Timing: Digital time clock will be viewable at the finish.
Certification: 3K USATF Certified Course # FL20012JK
Course Link: View Course Map

The purpose of the USATF course certification program is to produce road race courses of accurately measured distances. For any road running performance to be accepted as a record or be nationally ranked, it must be run on a USATF-certified course. In addition, the certification program is very important to the average road racer, as well as those of exceptional speed. Most runners like to compare performances run on different courses, and such comparisons are difficult if course distances are not reliable. No one can truly establish a personal best if the course distance is not accurate.

🅿️ PARKING

There will be free parking at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm for the entire day. The start and finish of the race will be at the Alligator Farm.
