Chip timing and race day coordination provided by MCM Timing & Results, LLC. Packet pickup will be on Tuesday, 11/24 and on Wednesday, 11/25 at Palm City Presbyterian Church from 12 pm - 6 pm. Race-Day Packet Pickup will begin at 6:30 AM. **Any packets not picked up by 7a.m. on race day will be available for pickup at PCPC during the week of 11/30.** FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: CAN I BRING A JOGGING STROLLER? We would love for you to bring your little one with you. The race is a bit congested for the first mile, so we ask our runners with strollers to start behind faster racers and to yield right of way to those without strollers. HOW LONG IS THE KIDS RACE? It will be short, but exciting - about 100 yards or less. The Fun Run happens as the 5k winds down … usually about 8:30 a.m. Listen for announcements as that time approaches. All children will receive a medal. CAN I BRING MY DOG? Sorry, no pets please. WHAT IS THE COURSE? The race starts in front of the church. Runners will go west on Martin Highway, turn left at High Meadow onto the sidewalk, turn left on Golden Bear, turn left onto Berry, and another left onto Martin Highway. Finally, one last left into the church parking lot and the finish line. There will be 1-2 water stations along the course. WHAT ARE THE T-SHIRTS LIKE THIS YEAR? This year's t-shirts are short-sleeved, and feature quick-dry performance fabric.
Kids Fun Run
Young trotters can sprint to the finish line, too! The Kids Fun Run will start immediately following the 5K, typically around 8:30 a.m. The race will start in the parking lot and finish through the finish line. All kids will receive a race bib and finisher medal.
