STARTING LINE & FINISH LINE WILL BE AT ANASTASIA CHURCH
THE RACE STARTS AT 8:00 AM!
This is a 5K run through Anastasia State Park and surrounding neighborhood. The roads are covered in a hammock with lots of shade and through some of St. Johns County's most beautiful terrain. The race begins at Anastasia Church, proceeds with a run through the park with turns and hills, then through one of St. Augustine’s beautiful neighborhoods. The last leg of the run shoots the runners back Old Beach Road to the finish line at Anastasia Church.
Anastasia Church is one of our community partners and they have graciously invited us to use their beautiful, shaded property in the back lot for our starting and finish line. The doors will be open for participants to use the facilities inside. There is plenty of parking for everyone!
