Check-in and onsite registration opens at 7:30am. Please meet at the Sandbar Amelia Island and look for the registration table. Come early for the pre-race warm up, courtesy of the YMCA. It'll get you fired up for the fun! The course will be a simple out, round the tree, and back beach run, direction may change based on conditions. Please note that this is not a chipped race.
