Wake up with us on an energetic Saturday morning, October 3rd, at Florida Gulf Coast University, and kick off at 8:30 AM.

As you power through the course, remember it's all for a fantastic cause, with every penny earned going to Special Olympics Florida. Cross the finish line and dive into festivities, camaraderie, and the satisfaction of a challenge conquered. Plus, you'll snag a stylish Running Scared t-shirt and a medal to commemorate your amazing feat. Gear up for an unforgettable race day filled with guts, glory, and gourds!
