   Loop Course Logistics

   The course is a loop, so you start and finish at the same spot—no point-to-point shuttle needed. Leave a drop bag at the start/finish area for after the race.

   Shade and Temperature

   The course is shady and the typical race day temperature is 15°C. That's cool for Florida, so you may not need as much fluid as on a sunny course, but don't overdress.

   Medal Cutoff

   Finishers earn a medal only if they complete the course within 3:00 hours. That's a comfortable half marathon cutoff, but keep an eye on the clock if you're taking walk breaks.
