WHY A TWILIGHT RUN?
The Inaugural Plantation Lakes 5K will have a 5pm start time. We are excited to offer this Twilight Run as something unique and different. We hope that you will take advantage of this opportunity to spend your Saturday morning doing errands and taking the kids to practice and then make plans to run with us, followed by the Taste of the Shore Food Rally. SUNSET ON RACE DAY IS 7:54pm
ABOUT THE COURSE
START TIME: 5pm
The course will start and finish at Plantation Lakes Golf & Country Club in the parking lot outside the clubhouse. The race route winds through golf course's cart paths, over bridges, under tunnels and ends up back at the clubhouse where the Taste of the Shore food rally awaits you.
Runners must be able to complete the course within 1 hour (19:35/mile pace).

The route will cover the front nine of the golf course. Runners will travel in a clockwise rotation heading the same direction as they would if they wer golfing. Tee times that day have been adjusted to assure that the course is clear of golfers during the run.
NOT UP FOR THE FULL 3.1 MILES?
You can select the 1-Mile Fun Run Instead. The Fun Run is a great choice for walkers, families, kids, or anyone who wants to be part of the run element of the event but are not up for the full 5K distance. Participants in the Fun Run get all of the same benefits as the 5K participants with less of the training.
WATER STOP
Participants are welcome to bring their own water on course with them. We will have one water stop on the course and water at the finish line to keep your hydration up during the 5K. If you need additional on course nutrition such as gel, please bring your own.
PACKET PICK UP
You will be able to pick up your race shirt and bib prior to race day. Below is the schedule:
THURSDAY 4/24 @ Corrigan Sports HQ from 11p to 4p
SATURDAY 4/26 @ Plantation Lakes Golf clubhouse from 12n to 4a
To pick up your packet, please bring your QR CODE that will be emailed to you during race week. Your QR CODE is also included in your confirmation email. You may pick up for a friend as long as you have thier QR CODE written confirmation that you have permission to do so. (e.g email, text, printed note, etc.) The Race Starts promptly at 5pm. Please be sure to attend packet pick up at the times above to assure you are able to make it the start in a timely fashion.
SOCIAL TEAMS
SOCIAL TEAMS get discounted entry fees, as well as additional benefits and prices. Running with a friend (or a group!) really is so much more fun than running alone. Once the race is over, a team is there to celebrate, and relax after the accomplishments of the day. Plus, they’ll keep people going and motivate them to keep training or finish strong if they’re starting to feel sluggish mid-race.

RACE RESTRICTIONS
1 HOUR TIME LIMIT | NO DOGS ON THE COURSE OR AT THE FINISH LINE FESTIVITIES
The Plantation Lakes 5K is a chip-timed event. Participants must finish the 5K course in under 1 hour. As long as you can finish under the time limit, participants can run, jog or walk the entire course. Don’t worry, the post race festivites at the end of the race will be eagerly awaiting you!
Jogging strollers are permitted but are asked to start in the back of the pack. Wheelchair athletes are permitted but due to safety concerns and street closure restrictions cannot travel faster than the fastest runner. No bikes, scooters, skateboards, or other wheeled vehicles are allowed. PLEASE NO DOGS ON THE COURSE OR AT THE FINISH LINE FESTIVITIES.
TASTE OF THE SHORE
What better way to celebrate your accomplishments – music, food and drinks! We expect 6-8 food vendors at our post race celebration. Your bib will contain three Taste Tickets that you can exchange for food samples. Vendors will create a signature item for the event so you can choose any of them. Need more Tastes? No worries, you can purchase additional tickets during the registration process or on race day.
Not interested in running? No worries! Just come to the Taste. It's open to the public and tickets will be available for purchase on-site. Come cheer on the runners and hang out at this year’s most unique tasting event. Eat, drink and be merry!
