*Mandatory Early Start
This is for all athletes in the 10K, halfathon, and marathon, expected to exceed 14 minutes per mile. THIS EARLY START IS NOT FOR ANY OTHER ATHLETES, WHO WILL BE DISQUALIFIED IF THEIR FINISHING PACE IS FASTER THAN 13:30 MINUTES. Athletes who start early are REQUIRED to stay on the sidewalk on North Shore Drive, Coffee Pot Blvd NE, and into Snell Isle. Race leaders will overtake early-start athletes sometime around mile 3. Please do NOT hinder their progress in any way.

As ALL courses use the same roads and Pinellas Trail as the Marathon, there is NO time limit for the 5K, 10K, and Halfathon.

The finish line for all races will be open for 6 hours from the 6:30 a.m. start until 12:30 pm. The course on public roads will open to traffic based on that pace. For instance, marathoners should be at the midpoint by 9:30 a.m., regardless of the start time. Athletes slower than that must move to the sidewalks and adhere to all pedestrian laws.

Bag Check

Bag check will be available near the registration and packet pickup tent. This is strictly by the honor system. No wallets, cell phones, or other valuables should be put in the bags, as we cannot be responsible for missing items.
