Immerse yourself in the vibrant energy of a marathon distance running relay that combines camaraderie, scenic beauty, and thrilling competition at the Hammock Community Center. This unique event offers both team-based relays for 2 to 3 runners or ruckers as well as an option for solo marathons. The course is designed around three laps on a loop route that starts and ends right next to the Atlantic Ocean, allowing participants to enjoy breathtaking views of the coastline while running. The proximity of the ocean means you can breathe in fresh sea air throughout your journey, making it an invigorating experience from start to finish. Each team member runs one leg at a time, handing off to their teammates who will rest and cheer them on before taking over. For those preferring solitude or looking for a personal challenge, there's also the option of running the full marathon distance solo. Solo participants follow the same loop course as relay teams but complete it independently within a 6.5-hour cut-off time. In addition to the main events, runners can participate in a shorter yet equally exciting 6k race through Mala Compra Trails and along A1A Road. This scenic route offers varied terrain with hard-packed trails, boardwalks, and sidewalk sections. All finishers of this distance receive custom merchandise including beanies and medals. The event encourages team spirit by offering awards for the top three male teams, female teams, coed teams (both two-person and three-person), as well as individual 6k runners in both men's and women's categories. Additional award categories may be added based on participation numbers to ensure everyone has a chance to shine. Participants can look forward to an enthusiastic atmosphere with live music, food stalls offering delicious refreshments, and plenty of opportunities for socializing among fellow athletes. The event also supports the local community through its partnership with Sombrero Outreach Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to empowering individuals and organizations in need. Join us at Hammock Community Center (79 Mala Compra Rd, Palm Coast, FL 32137) for an unforgettable day of running and camaraderie. Whether you're part of a team or tackling the distance solo, this event promises memorable moments and rewarding challenges.
