1. START TO MILE 10

Following is a brief recap of each of the sections of the 50-mile course. USE THE "COURSE DETAILS" LIST DURING THE RACE AND WHEN CREATING YOUR RACE PLAN.

WADSWORTH STATE PARK IN FLAGLER BEACH
NORTHBOUND TO THE TURNAROUND IN HAMMOCK DUNES

Wadsworth Park is a beautiful county park on the west side of the Intracoastal Waterway on S.R. 100 in Flagler Beach. After crossing the start line, you will turn left at the park entrance and run the only hill on the course--on the sidewalk across the Intracoastal Bridge. You may want to bring a camera when you reach the summit as the view of both the Intracoastal and the ocean from there is quite spectacular. What a start! At the bottom of the bridge, you (and your crew) will turn left on N. Flagler Avenue and go 10 blocks to where Flagler ends, turning right on North 10th Street. After three blocks, turn left onto S.R. A1A on the sidewalk and continue the 10-mile leg north to the turn-around at the race Aid Station and interim Timing Station at Publix in Hammock Dunes. (You will cross to the ocean side sidewalk at Varn Park.) Enjoy the ocean views for miles, and running through the funky beach town of Flagler Beach and the quiet communities that dot the route.

2. MILES 10-22

HAMMOCK DUNES TO GAMBLE ROGERS STATE RECREATION AREA

After reaching the Aid Station and interim Timing Station at Hammock Dunes, you will reverse course and return along A1A all the way to Ponce Inlet. You will cross to the inland-side sidewalk at Varn Park. Be careful crossing S.R. 100 at the traffic light in Flagler Beach.
Three miles after that intersection you will reach the Aid and Timing Station at Gamble Rogers State Recreation Area. This is an ideally situated location to refresh and for your crew, if you have one, to park and meet you. The Aid Station and parking area are located across the road on the ocean side. Be diligent when crossing the road.

3. MILES 22-33

GAMBLE ROGERS TO ORMOND BEACH

After leaving Gamble Rogers and Flagler County, you enter Volusia County, continuing on A1A through many beach communities with frequent beach access and eventual commercial areas (gas stations, restaurants, etc.) along the way. After entering Ormond Beach, watch for the traffic light at E. Granada Blvd. Your Mile 33 Aid Station and Timing Station is located in the shopping center lot just before the light on the right side. At that traffic light, you will carefully cross the road and begin running on the ocean side through Daytona Beach until you reach Wilbur-by-the-Sea.

4. MILES 33-50

ORMOND BEACH TO PONCE INLET--THE FINISH!

Shortly after Ormond Beach, you will arrive in the race's namesake, Daytona Beach, a very active urban area, passing the Convention Center, Bandshell, amusement parks and scores of beachside condos, hotels and other properties. The route continues through Daytona Beach Shores. There, at Mile 91.8, is Frank Rendon Park, where your final Aid Station and Timing Station are located. From there, you'll continue on the ocean side for 3.3 miles until reaching very laid-back Wilbur-by-the-Sea. There, you cross to the inland sidewalk into Ponce Inlet, a pretty and quiet town, and home to the tallest lighthouse in Florida at 175 feet--the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse! You will remain on the ocean road (S. Atlantic Avenue) until turning right on Lighthouse Drive and right again on S. Peninsula Drive. Then, just 1/4 mile away, at the base of the Lighthouse, is the "Kay and Ayres Davies Lighthouse Park"--your finish line. Let the celebration begin.
