COURSE
5K USATF Certified Course # FL10062EBM

The purpose of the USATF course certification program is to produce road race courses of accurately measured distances. For any road running performance to be accepted as a record or be nationally ranked, it must be run on a USATF-certified course. In addition, the certification program is very important to the average road racer, as well as those of exceptional speed. Most runners like to compare performances run on different courses, and such comparisons are difficult if course distances are not reliable. No one can truly establish a personal best if the course distance is not accurate.

PARKING
There is parking on both ends of the race, near the START (Castillo de San Marcos National Monument, 1 S Castillo Drive, St. Augustine, FL 32084) and the FINISH (Oglethorpe Park.) The distance between both locations is under a mile. Participants in the past typically chose to park at either location and walk back to their vehicle after the race.
