The live runs are on Dunedin Causeway. The 10K run turns around in Honeymoon Island. The course will have lanterns and directional signs, but we recommend that you bring a head light to improve your visibility for the bridges. Bug spray is also suggested. Honeymoon Island is a beautiful natural park.
In case of another pandemic situation, you will have the option of going virtual OR defer your registration to July 3, 2025. Sorry no refunds.
For our virtual runners, the date for the virtual runs is Wednesday, July 3 for the entire day. You can run any day before July 3rd, but it confuses the live runners to see an earlier date. We are not using Race Joy this year. If you want your time recorded on the site, you will be able to manually submit your time under participant registration. https://runsignup.com/Race/Results/67975#resultSetId-200062;perpage:10
You will still be able to pick up your packet. See Packet Pick up information.
