REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!
1. START TO MILE 10
Following is a brief recap of each of the sections of the 50-mile course
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. Enjoy the ocean views for miles, and running through the funky beach town of Flagler Beach and the quiet communities that dot the route.
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.
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, amusements 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 run through very laid-back Wilbur-by-the-Sea 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.
