Public parking near Seaside is extremely limited and will be enforced in 2024. We encourage those participating in Race Weekend events to purchase a VIP Parking Pass or take the shuttle (available Saturday & Sunday) from Emerald Coast Middle School.
PARKING IN SEASIDE WILL BE AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY TO PASS HOLDERS. For Expo and Race Day, all Seaside entry points from 30A and 395 will be closed, and only those with a valid pass will be permitted to enter. Each intersection and point of entry will be manned and this policy will be strictly enforced.
PLEASE NOTE THE ROAD CLOSURE AT 5:30AM ON RACE DAY, SUNDAY FEBRUARY 18TH. All Parking Pass holders will need to have entered Seaside prior to that time in order to access the VIP Parking Area. To ensure the safety of all runners and participants, cars will not be allowed to exit Seaside until the road is re-opened at 10:00am.
Passes are available for $35 on Race Day only. VIP Parking Pass Holders are guaranteed a parking spot in the town of Seaside for the day of the race. Specific details will be shared out to pass holders prior to race weekend.
Sunday: Passes are valid from 5am – 10pm
Complimentary parking and shuttle service are available from Emerald Coast Middle School (ECMS) on Saturday, February 17th and Sunday, February 18th. Two shuttles will run on a continuous loop between ECMS and Quincy Circle in Seaside during the scheduled window for each day:
Saturday – Race Expo & Packet Pickup: 12:30pm – 8:30pm
Sunday – Half Marathon + 5K: 5:00am – 2:00pm
There will be a local's packet pick-up opportunity on Thursday, February 15th, location and time TBD.
On Race Day, Sunday, February 18th, 30A will be closed as of 5:30am. Please account for this closure, which is earlier than in year’s past, when making your Race Day plans.
Every year, the gap between the Seaside School standard of excellence and the funding provided by the state grows. Whether you’re a runner or sponsor, please know that your support is needed and appreciated. Great things are happening at the Seaside School… thanks to you!
