DATES: November 19-20, 2010PLACES: Clearwater-to-Daytona Beach, FL
BLUF:
This 202 mile adventure-fest pushes you & 11 pals from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean. Starting in Hudson Beach & finishing in Daytona Beach, this relay offers runners a unique opportunity to run across the state of Florida as it starts & ends on the beach & runs through trails, back roads & historic downtown areas. The race (and your stamina) wraps up within earshot of the roaring engines of the Daytona Motor Speedway & the crashing waves of the Atlantic Ocean.
Almost anyone can run in this relay race...if you train. Each relay team member runs three legs, ranging between 3 & 9 miles & varying in difficulty. So, from the elite runner down to the intermittent jogger it's the ideal relay for anyone in search of an unforgettable adventure.
Each team is allowed two support vehicles. The first vehicle will drop off the first runner, drive ahead a few miles, cheer the runner on, & provide them with water, snacks, & encouragement. That vehicle will then drive ahead to the first exchange point to drop off the next runner & pick up the first runner when that leg is complete. Repeat this pattern for six legs until the hand-off to their second vehicle. This leapfrogging continues all the way to the finish line.
