The Pre Set WeBeach Course Description .... (note this course will be used for both races)
Hi! I will follow up this post with imagery of the course but here is a breakdown of how it will run in words. The course is designed so a start line can be anywhere along the way to help with the social distancing aspect of a group of runners all starting together.As long as you complete the whole course twice, you are in good shape. For the purpose of keeping it simple to explain, the start line I am going to use will be the Walgreens on Spanish River, just east of Federal Hwy.
- Start running from a designated start/turnaround marker and head east over the bridge to A1A.
- Turn Right at A1A and head south to Palmetto Park Rd
- Turn Right on Palmetto, heading west and run to the bridge stopping at the first traffic arm that prevents cars from passing (about 2/3 up the bridge) Do not go over the bridge.
- Turn around and run back east to the beach across A1A. You will use the ramp that takes you up to the showers and bathroom. Use the beach access ramp there to make access to the sand and begin running North.
- Exit the beach at Spanish River (Lifeguard Tower 20)
- Once you exit the beach, cross Spanish River and begin running west on Spanish River, back over the bridge to the turnaround spot.
The course will be around 6.5-6.7 miles, do that twice for ~13.1 miles.
The views from the bridges and the ocean are really beautiful and the course will definitely give you the feel of a great accomplishment once completed.
