RUN/WALK 6.2, 12.4, OR 18.6 MILES*. THERE WILL BE AT LEAST ONE OR TWO WATER TABLES ON THE COURSE AND PLENTY AT THE START/FINISH.

HERE IS OUR PROPOSED COURSE- https://onthegomap.com/s/e3f9it59
_IT COULD BE RUN IN REVERSE_ IF WE DETERMINE THE WIND IS OBNOXIOUS IN ONE DIRECTION- ESPECIALLY ALONG THE BEACH OR THE WATER.

THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO TRY ANY OF THE DISTANCES WITHOUT ANY PRESSURE. ITS A GREAT TRAINING RUN FOR A FUTURE HALF MARATHON,
MARATHON, OR JUST TO SHOW YOURSELF IT IS POSSIBLE. ITS ALSO A CHANCE TO RUN A PR IF YOURE READY.
