welcome to the 

Welcome to D2:  the second-annual DAYTONA 100 !!!  

At sunrise on Saturday, December 10th, 2016,  250 ultrarunners will depart Atlantic Beach in Jacksonville and head south towards the mecca of auto racing!  You will hug the ocean for 100 nonstop miles, through Daytona, until you pass the historic Ponce Inlet Lighthouse and ultimately reach the finish line  . . . on the beach in front of the world-famous Racing's North Turn, the very spot where the historic Daytona national car race (the precursor to the Daytona 500) used to exit the beach!

The DAYTONA 100 is a USATF-sanctioned, north-to-south, point-to-point course that travels through some of the most scenic areas Florida has to offer.  You will be running almost exclusively on paved trails, sidewalks, and the beach itself (80 miles of pavement; 20 miles of very firm and runnable beach).  You will rarely be more than a block or so from the ocean, and will enjoy countless unobstructed views of the water.   

Run on quiet seaside streets and a beach with sand so sturdy it once hosted the world's most famous car race, the DAYTONA 100 is a flat and fast course . . . perhaps the fastest 100-miler in the state or even the country.  And with the moderate-to-cool North Florida temperatures in December this course is absolutely perfect for anyone looking to run a first 100-miler, or to notch a "PR" in the distance.  

You can run the DAYTONA 100 either crewed or uncrewed, that's up to you.  We will have fully-stocked aid stations approximately every 10 miles, and coolers with ice and water every 5 miles between those stations.

In conjunction with the DAYTONA 100, we will also again be hosting the DAYTONA 50 mile race (which will follow the second-half of the 100-mile course)!

You will pass through gorgeous seaside towns such as Atlantic Beach, Jacksonville Beach, Ponte Vedra, and right through downtown St. Augustine, "America's Oldest City"!  (The 17-mile section from Ponte Vedra to St. Augustine is the first of two "beach sections" of the race.)  You'll continue your journey south through St. Augustine Beach, Beverly Beach, Flagler Beach, and Ormond Beach.

Once you reach Daytona Beach Shores (Mile 88.5), you will hop on the beach itself for a second time and follow it for the next 4.5 miles, all the way to the finish in Ponce Inlet (with a slight detour from Miles 94-98 to loop around the beautiful and iconic Ponce Inlet Lighthouse).  You will be guided by the moonlight and the next morning's sunrise (depending on how fast your run!) all the way through the finish line (in front of famed restaurant/bar Racing's North Turn)!  

At the DAYTONA 100, new for 2016, we are proud to announce that the race will be timed by Florida ultrarunning legend Mike Melton, of MCM Timing!!!  As all Floridian ultrarunners know, Mike is the "gold standard" when it comes to electronic timing systems for races in Florida and -- indeed -- the entire east coast!  Runners' families and friends will be able to follow along with their runners with real-time splits along the course throughout the entire race!!!​

Additionally, the DAYTONA 100 will feature fully-custom and personalized race bibs!  Each runner will receive two bibs, to assist with in-race logistics, as well as to ensure at least one of them is in good condition for framing after the race!!  For all runners who sign up by November 10th -- one month before the race date -- we guarantee their name will be on the bib!  Also, we offer the option to request your favorite race number!!!
