We will gather to celebrate after each day’s race. These after-parties are very casual (smelly race attire) and you can choose any meal off any of the food trucks at Main Beach Park. There’s a lunch ticket on your daily bib that you can exchange for the yummy food. Family, friends, fans, and supporters are all welcome to join the festivities and grab lunch for $15 per person. Please purchase extra lunch tickets at the ORANGE TENT.

We will have bag drops available daily. Stuff a bag with your keys, a clean shirt, some flops, and your favorite koozy. Leave it with us at the start line each day and you can pick it up when you cross the finish line!

Only ticket holders wearing official wristbands will be allowed to participate in bingo and sit under the big tent. If you do not have a bracelet, you can still come join the fun but you’ll have to watch from afar.

Please note that all bingo players must be 18 years of age and the show will contain adult content and language. 

If you haven’t purchased bingo tickets, they will be available on Thursday at the Purple Tent

We will play four rounds of bingo from 6:30-9PM on Friday and each game will have ONE winner. The first three games have a grand prize of $500 each and the last game will fork out $1000 to the lucky winner.

Join us as we will release hundreds of Monarch Butterflies on Amelia Island. These large Monarchs are available for $12 each and will be released en mass at the end of the Survivor Celebration at Main Beach Park on Friday, October 18. Buy one for a lost loved one, another in the name of special supporters, and another just because these things are big, beautiful, and help pollinate the world! Go here to purchase yours: https://pledgethepink.com/butterfly-release/  

We start on time so do not be late. Plan on arriving at least 15 minutes before start so you can hear that day’s announcements and updates. Survivors line up in the front, followed by the runners, and then walkers. Survivors always start the race! The clock will start approximately two minutes later, so there is controlled chaos as the runners overtake the survivors. Please be safe and courteous as you pass. 

Due to local regulations and insurance mandates, no dogs or bikes are allowed on any course. Likewise, no alcohol is allowed along the courses, unless it is served inside a bar or restaurant.

• Friday start is 8am from Peter’s Point Park
• Sat start is 8am from Main Beach Park
• Sunday start is 7:30am from Main Beach Park

Our courses will remain open and manned for four hours. After that, we are required to break everything down and be off the roads, pathways, and beaches. If you don’t think you can complete the 10 miles within 4 hours, please utilize the shortcuts.

We do not have manpower or required insurance to drive you to a further point along the course, nor do we have the resources to keep volunteers and supplies on the course because you arrive 10 minutes late. Thank you for understanding.

We have most everything you need along the courses but most people do stuff their pockets or stash some goodies in the swag bag backpacks we pass out on Thursday night. We encourage everyone to carry the following items, depending on how long you anticipate being on the course: sunscreen, bug spray, bandaids, gel pads, glide, cash, drivers license, phone/camera.

Bandaids, bug spray, sunscreen… we’ve got it.. But you might want to lather up and throw a bandaid in your pocket just in case! Listen to your body. If you feel dizzy, weak, nauseous, overheated, or exhausted- tell the people around you and then sit your butt down in the shade. Notify the closest volunteer so we can have EMS come check you out- they will be on site every day. Call 911 for life threatening emergencies.

If you would like to receive the fundraising prize packages, please make sure you check the YES box in your fundraising page. If you would rather NOT get the incentive prizes, please make sure you check the NO button. If you checked yes and you qualify for prizes (starting at $500 raised), your prize bags will be waiting for you at the PURPLE TENT at Packet Pickup.

Please note we will only give them to you- not friends or team members – only you. Your Thursday registration bib will have a tear strip to present at the prize tent for prize pickup.  If we don’t see you Thursday, you can pick up your prizes after the race on Friday or Saturday. Fundraising totals will be calculated at noon on Sunday, Sept 15, and prize bags will be made based on those totals. 

We are so excited to offer these tribute signs again this year and we anticipate them being a tradition moving forward. For more info or to purchase a sign, please go here. These poignant signs will be placed on the beach on Friday. And, just as a reminder, if you purchase a sign or if someone buys one for you, you may take it home with you after the race. Talk about a great keepsake!

We are bringing all our store items so head over to our merchandise tent as soon as you arrive. Inventory is already very low on several items and we do not print any additional shirts, etc., so if you are reading this before September 15, we strongly encourage you to buy online while we still have some sizes/styles available:

Merchandise will be open the following hours during event weekend:
