About This Event

Are you team heat or team humidity? 

Either way, you're gonna sweat. You're gonna get toasty. Some people think it's crazy, or absurd, or unhealthy to run in this kind of weather. Heat, humidity, sweat, dehydration, sunshine, rain, summer in Florida could be anything...except cold. It's not gonna be cold. We promise.

We don't call it BURN Your Half Off for nothing!

We're not scared. We know how to take care of you. We've been doing this race for years. We like a little crazy. It keeps things interesting. It keeps things fun. It gives some of us a healthy side dish of superiority because we're not fair weather party poopers. We're party SWEATERS.

Anyway, here's the important and kind of boring (but still stuff you need to know before signing up for this) information: 

Distances offered: 5K, 10K, and half marathon.

The course will start and finish at Baseline Greenway Park, utilizing a one(ish) mile paved loop. Yes, that means 12 laps for the half marathon. If you've never done a lapped course before, we realize that to some, that sounds like not a lot of fun. To us, and to the people who have been running with us for years, what that really means is: lots of funny signs, and twelve stops at the aid station that's stocked with things like drinks, ice, BANANA SMOOTHIES (no dairy, we just make 'em with ice so you don't have to eat hot mushy bananas), salty snacks, sunscreen, fruit, and all the other fun stuff that we put on our aid station tables, along with the cowbells and happy human crew that are ubiquitous with Awesomesauce races, will all never be more than one mile away.

Our races are super low-key and non-competitive; we'd prefer to race you vs. you, not you vs. anyone else. We like to say it's more like a family picnic with some running involved as opposed to a typical race. The pressure is off. We're here to get you to the finish line! There is a 4 hour time limit for all distances.

Walkers are welcome! We measure the distances by DISTANCE, not by the amount of time it takes for you to cover the distance. (These races do count toward RunDisney corral placement.)

The race has a hard cap, and once it is full, it is full. Period. We don't like having big races. We can't spoil you if there are too many of you. 

Your registration fee includes entry into the race distance of your choosing, race swag (standard race swag is a beach towel, but we do have some alternative swag if that's not something you want), finisher medal for all distances, and our usual aid station setup including Gatorade, water, Gu, snacks and post-race food. For this race, we add some extra fun things in an attempt to keep you cool. Also, because it's kind of tough to keep certain candy from liquefying in the heat.

As always, if you are feeling good and want to go further, you just pay the difference in your distance when you finish. If you are feeling bad and need to stop, you will still get credit for the distance you cover and you'll still get a medal!

As with any other race put on by any other company, registration fees and add-on fees are final and are not refundable or transferable for any reason. When you sign up, you indicate your acceptance of this policy, which is standard in the industry. Prices are subject to change. The races will go on rain or shine, but we do not run if there is lightning or dangerous weather conditions. 

It will probably be HOT on race day. It will probably be HUMID on race day. It is YOUR responsibility to take care of yourself in the climactic conditions. If, at any time, the race director determines that it would be unsafe for you to continue, you will be withdrawn from the race. When signing up for this race, you agree to follow ALL instructions given to you by the race director. We do give credit for distance covered, so if things don't go so well, you can change race distances mid-race to something shorter and still earn a medal and a finish time. We are here to support YOU in your goals, and to celebrate every single participant.
