Tips & Advice
- Pre-register online by November 12 to make sure you get a T-shirt and medal, because day-of entrants may find limited sizes and medals run out.
- Leave your bag in the car or with a friend who isn't racing, because there's no gear drop-off area on race day.
- Carry your own water, because there's only one water station, midway along the Seminole-Wekiva Trail course.
- Pack a raincoat or hat if the forecast looks wet, because the race goes ahead rain or shine.
- Line up with the walkers if you're pushing a stroller, because hand cyclists start first, then runners, then walkers and rollers.
