2027 USATF Sanctioned Event

SUNDAY March 28th, 2027 There will be 3 events; a 10 hour individual, a 6 hour individual, and a half marathon.  ( A Fixed Time Event is where you have 6 or 10 hours to run as much as you can or want to.

Location: Riverbend & Loxahatchee River Battlefield Parks, 
                    9060 Indiantown Road Jupiter, FL 33478 Event Start Times: ( The park is open Sunrise to Sunset and that day it's 7 am to 7 pm. 12 hours of daylight = 1 hour to set up, 1 hour to break down & 10 hours to run )

                             Half Marathon Distance -- at 9:00 am till you finish (4 Loops)                           
Finish Time: 2:00 pm & 6:00 pm March 28th 2027 (or when you decide to stop) Course: This year the course will be a loop around Riverbend Park (the long loop will be 3.32 miles) .  You'll pass the Start/Finish Line / Aid Station and your gear every loop. Map: https://onthegomap.com/s/m0trljef Aid Station:   A fully stocked aid station will be at the Start/Finish line, stocked with better then average ultra food!   Charity Benefactor: Riverbend Park / Battlefield Park  Registration: RunSignUp.com  The race has a NO Refund Policy in Place, Deferrals are only to the next years event Packet Pickup: We do packet pick up race morning at the park, you'll get you bib with the timing tag attached from our timer. Several Volunteers are still Needed!   You must be registered by the end of the day on March 3rd to be guaranteed a correct size shirt, after that shirts may or may not be available. Loop Size: For this event we use 2 different size course loops the "Long" loop and a "Short" loop.  Since we have a time limit there is no way the timer could measure partial laps on a 3.32 mile course and get results posted within our time limit. We will run the Long loop till hour 5 in the 6 hour event and hour 9 in the 10 hour event, then if you're not able to complete another full loop you can switch to the Short loop (0.85 miles) to get extra mileage in the final hour. Only completed full loops count, if the clock runs out and you're 6 inches from crossing the timing mat, that loop doesn't count!      Event Email: mike@mcmelton.com  All participants, volunteers & spectators agree to abide by all park rules and regulations… The park has granted us approval to hold a race in 2025, we need to show the park we care about our trails and the parks that contain them. Dogs: Sorry but Dogs are NOT allowed in Riverbend Park;
       ( https://discover.pbcgov.org/parks/General/Dogs.aspx  ) Dropping Down: Runners can change the distance and drop down to a lesser distance.
