Full aid station support and additional unstaffed water stops will be set-up along the route to assist all runners. Note that any un-crewed runner who does not complete the race will be responsible for their own transportation to the finish line, their car, hotel or other destination.
**Special requirement for 100-milers: To race without a crew in the 100-mile race, you MUST have completed at least one 100-mile race that can be documented on UltraSignup or the DUV database. No un-crewed 100-mile rookies allowed; no exceptions.
All race participants must register online. People supporting individual runners as crew members (including any pacers and drivers) will select "Individual Runner Crew" as their volunteer position. Anyone supporting a relay team as their vehicle driver must select "Team Driver During Race" as their volunteer position. Go to the website "REGISTER" tab for the link to registration.
ALL un-crewed runners must carry a cell phone and back-up power supply to be reachable during the entire race.
For un-crewed runners, there will be four (4) drop bag locations for 100-milers, two (2) for 50-milers and one (1) for 50-kilometer runners. View the "Course Details" page under the "COURSE" tab for your race distance to see locations.
Relay teams of up to four runners per team will compete in their own race category. (Teams have the option to race with 2 or 3 members, if preferred.) In addition, one team driver is allowed to assist during the event. Teams may exchange runners only in recommended locations, but otherwise teams set their own race strategy: runners do not have to stay in order, do not have to run the same number of “legs” or miles and teams are allowed to change strategy during the race. One team vehicle only is permitted on the course.
To lessen the impact of adding race vehicles to the roadway and at meet-up locations, starts are staggered. Corral times are assigned on a first-to-register basis. The earlier the sign-up, the earlier the corral assignment. Don’t worry; official times are NET—i.e., the clock starts when you cross the start line and stops when you cross the finish line.
100-mile: Runners and teams have 31 hours to finish.
5:30am for the first 80 individual runners and teams to register
6:00am for next 80 runners
6:30am for remaining runners
50-mile: Runners have until Noon on Sunday to finish; this cut-off applies no matter the start time
11:30am for first 50 runners
11:45am for next 50
50-Km: Runners have until Noon on Sunday to finish
Noon start for first 50 runners
12:15pm for next 50
Getting to the race start (and packet pick-up):
For teams and runners with crew, you have a ride! See you there.
100-mile: Friday, Dec. 13, optional shuttle from Ponce Inlet Community Center to JAX Beach Courtyard Hotel, departing at 2:00pm. Cost: $50. At the start on Saturday morning, if you have not made other arrangements, the race will collect your luggage and truck it to the finish line for retrieval there.
50 mile/50k: Race morning, optional shuttle from Ponce Inlet to Wadsworth Park in Flagler Beach. 9:45am departure. Cost: $30. When checking-in at Wadsworth Park, you have the option for the race to carry your personal items (baggage, race packet, etc.) to the finish line for retrieval there.
All runners are invited to check-in and pick-up their race bib, shirt, etc., on Friday afternoon, December 13, from 3:00pm until 8:00pm, at the Courtyard Hotel Oceanfront, JAX Beach. 50-mile and 50-kilometer runners are NOT required to show-up on Friday. They have the option to check-in on race morning at Wadsworth Park.
At the Courtyard on Friday, from 3:30pm-4:30pm, and repeated from 5:30pm-6:30pm, hear all about it from those who have previously raced and crewed at Daytona100. This is also your chance to question the panelists or the Race Director about any race-related subject. Especially for first-time runners and crew members, take advantage of this opportunity.
50-Mile and 50-Kilometer runners: Before the start of your races, the Race Director will present timely information and will be available for any questions.
Support on course: Fully stocked aid stations for all runners, some serving hot food, plus unstaffed water/ice stops, and medical and race marshal teams along the route will support you all the way to Ponce Inlet. Significant signage will be in place, too. This year's “Race Guide” will include maps and detailed lists of recommended support stops, bathrooms, convenience stores, restaurants and other facilities. Interim timing equipment will be clearly marked and conveniently placed with signs announcing timing equipment ahead.
Time allowed on course: 100-mile runners have 31 hours to complete the race. 50-mile and 50-kilometer runners have until Noon on Sunday to complete the race. In addition, there are interim cut-offs. Aid station hours are FIRM: if you miss the closing time at an aid station, you will be considered “DNF”—“Did Not Finish”—and will not receive an official finish time. Aid station hours are posted in the "Race Guide".
Race Rules: Read them. Commit to them. Rules are found in the “Race Guide” and on the website under the "PRE-RACE INFO" tab.
Lots of them, including age range awards for the individual races. Be a winner! Don't miss the awards program at 1:30pm on Sunday at "Hidden Treasure Rum Bar & Grille", located directly across the street from the finish line. Check your award status before leaving the finish line area. If you're a winner but can't be there on Sunday, you will receive your award there at the finish line. CHECK BEFORE YOU DEPART DAVIES PARK!
For the 100-mile races—individuals and teams--there is no crewing or runner exchange allowed along the 1st seven mile out-and-back section and none allowed between Mile 9 and Mickler’s Beach at Mile 16. Plan accordingly to carry adequate supplies for these sections.
50-mile: This race starts with an out-and-back segment of 10 miles each way to and from Hammock Dunes. There is simply no location on the barrier island to the north that will adequately accommodate--and permit--a professional, properly staged race start for a point-to-point 50-miler to Ponce Inlet; hence, the out-and-back start.
50-kilometer: Runners will cross the Intracoastal bridge just after the start, enjoy a spectacular view of the ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, then be directed south. The "Race Guide" provides all the specifics, which may also be viewed on the website under the "COURSE" tab.
We need YOU!! Please see the “Volunteer & Crew Registration” page for important information.
Daytona 100 again this year will be supporting the good work of "Runners4Recovery-JAX".
Runners4 Recovery is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide access to resources for individuals who are in active recovery from alcohol or drug addiction. They support ages 14 - 19 in an adolescent program and several adult programs. All are local, near the race route in Jacksonville and surrounding areas.
