Helpful Hint for beginners
Hint#1: Have you wondered
yet what you are going to do with your keys the morning of the race, or what about a dry t-shirt to change into for after
the race, or any other items you might like to have with you after your run? The bag you receive at the expo is to be
used for just that purpose.
You will need to tear off the strip at the bottom of your bib, which has
your bib # on it, and attach it to the bag with the wire tire provided. Put what you might need in that bag
and bring it with you the morning of the race with your tag attached to "Bag Check In"
located in the front of the church. The bags will be kept inside of the Church for security. We will have attendants
at the "Bag Check In" until the last bag is checked out. Now you don't have to worry.
Be sure to attend the Health Expo November 13th open from 12pm - 9pm to pick up your race day packet and
t-shirt.

Run the ALL-AMERICAN
Bridge! The Florida Keys Overseas Highway, the site of our course, is now an All-American Road!
The designation was announced Friday by U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray La Hood and a plaque was presented by Victor
Mendez, administrator of the Federal Highway Administration, during a ceremony in Washington, D.C. on Friday October 16.
The Keys highway is the only All-American Road in Florida. This is the highest recognition possible under the National Scenic Byways program established by the U.S. Congress in 1991 and only 30 other roadways in the nation have earned this prestigious
title.
For more about the National Byways program, click the link above or watch a video of the new sign being installed on the course at www.Fla-Keys.com. You will pass this sign on both the 5k and half marathon so have your cameras ready!
