RACE COURSE

Holloway Park is considered one of the best courses in Florida.  Featuring elevation changes rarely found in Florida, Holloway Park will challenge the best of runners. The course has a 300’ starting line that ventures slightly uphill for approximately 1700 feet.  A spectator ridge starts at about the 3/4 mile mark and continues to the 1 mile mark.  The spectator ridge also extends on the south side of the course to view runners later in the race as they approach mile 3.  The finish is a lollipop that allows spectators to be inside the course. The course is completely grass, dirt, and sand.  Spikes are encouraged.  The course is open to the public until 5pm every day unless there is a race.
