some of the exciting changes for 2022 are here:
August 7, 2022
Your "Race Guide" is now complete and posted on the website. This will truly be your "guide" on race weekend, as it includes the following:
Race calendars, including locations of all weekend events
Timing and aid stations list
Allowable crew locations (essentially unchanged from previous years)
Detailed maps of the three courses, with instructions for runners and crews; this is the biggie, folks!
Race rules
A print copy will be given to every runner at check-in, but it may be downloaded and printed now to study and plan in advance.
Hotels: "Official" race hotel room blocks, with negotiated rates, will appear this week under the "MORE..." tab on the website.
"The Course" tab includes highlights of the three routes with photos and will be completed this week. These are high-level views that are particularly useful for those who are unfamiliar with the course.
July 3, 2022--IMPORTANT UPDATES:
Change of policy regarding crew support:
50-mile and 50-kilometer runners may race without personal crew support. While not recommended, this option is available.
100-mile runners will be required to have a crew or to share one, and will be considered self-supported.
--Aid station and mini-A.S. support will be in place, primarily for un-crewed runners, as listed in the Course Information descriptions
--There will be NO drop bag support
--Un-crewed runners are responsible for getting themselves to and from the start and finish lines, and to their vehicle or destination
should they "drop" before finishing the race
--A SHUTTLE to the start line in Flagler Beach WILL be available, departing from the finish line area on Saturday at approx. 10:00am.
There will be a nominal charge of $20 to help cover costs. Select this option when registering for either the 50-mile or 50-km race.
The race registration vendor has changed from UltraSignUp to RunSignup. If you registered before this change, your registration has been
transferred. There is nothing you have to do. However, if you would like the option to make certain changes or simply view your
registration information, simply go to runsignup.com and create an account.

*The new race Facebook page will facilitate connection of runners

"un-crewed"
LOTS MORE TO COME! STAY TUNED
