3K USATF Certified Course # FL20012JK
https://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=7425750
The purpose of the USATF course certification program is to produce road race courses of accurately measured distances. For any road running performance to be accepted as a record or be nationally ranked, it must be run on a USATF-certified course. In addition, the certification program is very important to the average road racer, as well as those of exceptional speed. Most runners like to compare performances run on different courses, and such comparisons are difficult if course distances are not reliable. No one can truly establish a personal best if the course distance is not accurate.
PARKING
There will be free parking at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm for the entire day. The start and finish of the race will be at the Alligator Farm.
AWARDS

Overall and age group award ceremony will be held by 9:00 am race day. Special awards provided to overall winners and some prizes may be awarded randomly!
