More details

Getting to the start

No train/subway station. Manatee County Area Transit (MCAT) operates ~17 bus routes in the greater Bradenton area, but no confirmed route reaches Heritage Harbor Park directly.

Start is at Heritage Harbor Park; parking is next to the playground in the large lot. Heritage Harbor Park sits in a suburban/exurban part of Manatee County; MCAT buses serve central Bradenton but no confirmed line reaches this park, so car/rideshare is the practical option.

Finish is at the same park as the start.
