WARNING: Before you register, read everything below. Here are the main points:
Not chip-timed. We are hand timed. Let us know when you finish.
Courses are not certified. Not designed for speed. NOT a Boston qualifier.
No age group awards, no t-shirts.
Cup-less—bring your own bottle.
These are low-key, casual, fun events. GREAT for first timers! These are not certified or sanctioned courses—meaning, NOT a Boston qualifier. Don’t expect much and maybe you won’t be disappointed.
WHAT YOU DON’T GET: t-shirt, hat, socks, or any other apparel, great bling, cute reusable race bag, age group awards, spectators lining the course, large crowds cheering you in, hearty food at the finish, exciting music, and a party afterward.
WHAT YOU DO GET: low entry fees, courses that are guaranteed not short, a simple finisher’s medal, a generous time limit, and a published finish time. But isn’t that all you really need? What do you do with all that other stuff anyway? You know you want to sign up. Really, where else can you run a marathon for $65?
COURSES: The courses are NOT certified--no Boston qualifier here. The courses are lap courses, meaning that you will do an out-and-back multiple times. Which means you will see other runners going and coming. Not as boring as it might sound. In fact, many people come to prefer this course design. All the courses will be on primarily paved, urban run/bike trails that are fairly flat with some to a lot of shade. These are open courses and will be open to the public. This means there may be other runners, walkers and cyclists. Detailed course descriptions will be coming soon!
The marathon and half marathon laps will be approximately 1.9 to 2.2 miles. The full is expected to be 12 to 14 laps and the half is expected to be 6 to 7 laps. The 5K and 10K laps are approximately 1.55 miles—two laps for the 5K and four laps for the 10K. The 50K is expected to be 14 to 16 marathon laps, plus one small lap at the end.
Turn around for each distance will be clearly marked. Rubber bands will be available to help you keep track of your laps.
START / FINISH / AID STATION: The only aid station is at the start/finish location, which you will pass twice each lap. We will provide chilled water, Gatorade, soda, and sweet and salty snacks.
CUPLESS: This is a cupless race. Meaning we would like for you to bring your own hydration device—water bottle, hydration belt/pack. There will be a table for your water bottles. We'll have small paper cups, but you'd be better off with your own bottle(s).
HEAT: Florida is typically hot and humid. We will provide ice for your water, Gatorade, and soda. There will also be a bucket of ice water for you to dip your hat, cooling towel, etc. We will have pickles and pickle juice, as well as a variety of salty snacks.
BATHROOMS: The bathrooms are a little walk from the start/finish, but you’ll pass them during each lap. They're inside, permanent structure bathrooms with soap and water!
LIGHT: It will be just starting to break daylight at the start, but still dark in places on the course. (Sunrise is at 7:00.) We recommend you have a light for the first half hour.
DROP BAG: There will be a location near the start/finish line where you may leave a drop bag.
FINISH LINE: When you finish, ring the bell, or be sure to let the timer know you’re finished. Without this, you won’t get a finish time—or at least not an accurate time. Remember we are hand-timed—no timing chips! We won't know to record your time if you don't tell us you're done.
NOW, if you are STILL undecided (congratulations for reading this far), and you want to know what to expect, we won’t likely have world class athletes based on speed, but we will likely have world class athletes based on numbers of marathons completed. Think four-digit numbers. Just imagine the stories! These experienced runners love to meet new runners and offer encouragement and wisdom.
VOLUNTEERS: We always need volunteers. Each full volunteer day earns a free long run (half marathon or full marathon) or two short runs (5K or 10K). Email at wingmanrunning@yahoo.com
