New for 2024 - teams of 5 to 10 runners compete for prizes for each of the three Summer Sizzler races (Summer Solstice 5K, Downtown Dash 5K, and Beach to Beach 5K) as well as a Team Grand Prize for the team that wins the combined three-race series competition! Here's how it works - you get a team of at least 5 but no more than 10 runners together, and enter each race in the Series (or use the Three-Race Bundle for a better price). At each race, your team is scored just like in Cross Country - the top five runners on the team are scored, by adding up the OVERALL PLACE each runner finishes in the race. Lowest score wins, and if there's a tie score, the tie is broken by the sixth runner's place.
The summer classic Beach To Beach 5K Run is back! Same great route running from Stuart Beach to Jensen Beach, NEW SATURDAY MORNING in August timeframe - MAKE SURE YOU READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS! This race has a 300-runner cap so don't wait too long to register!
Park at the FINISH LINE in the parking lot at the Jensen Beach public beach, located right on the Atlantic Ocean at the eastern end of the Jensen Beach Causeway. We will bus you south three miles to the starting line, and then you'll run back to the finish! Buses start running at 5:20 AM, the last bus will leave at 6:15 AM - DON'T BE LATE!
Flat and fast, the course starts at the Stuart Beach parking lot, behind the Elliott Museum, runs straight north of 3 miles along the edge of Highway A-1-A, and finishes in the Jensen Beach public beach parking lot. Three right-hand turns, with a 3-mile straightaway in between!
Finisher's awards, age group awards every five years from 10 and Under to 80 and Over, and a handful of raffle prizes means that everyone will walk away with something! Post-race refreshments, two on-course water stops, chip timing start to finish line, and quality cotton/poly blend t-shirts to everyone who enters by August 15 are all included. Come join us when normal people are in the midst of happy hour at their favorite watering hole and run one of the fastest flattest 5K courses you'll ever find! You know this will be a quality event because Mike Melton is organizing it! Enter now at $45 until August 10, when entry jumps to $50, $60 on Race Day.
