READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

The race is held on repeated loops at Robinson Preserve in Bradenton.

The basic 4.35-mile loop can be used to enter the half marathon, full marathon, 50K or all-day challenge.

The surface combines pavement, sand and shell, with a high proportion of sand and shell sections, so trail shoes and gaiters are recommended.

The course offers views of Tampa Bay, the Sunshine Skyway Bridge and the direction of Anna Maria Island.

Florida's Gulf Coast remains hot and humid in October.

Support is available at a staffed aid station around mile 2, offering water, Gatorade, soft drinks and snacks, and at a self-serve aid station around mile 3.

Times are local to Bradenton. Check the latest official information before the race.
