Event Overview
The Burn Your Half Off Florida event is a running event scheduled for early June in Ocala, Florida. The organizers note the race takes place during Florida's hot and humid summer weather. They emphasize a supportive, low-pressure atmosphere.
Distances
Three race distances are offered:
- Fiery 5K
- Toasty 10K
- Hot Half Marathon
Course Details
The event uses a looped course at Baseline Greenway Park. The route is a paved loop of approximately one mile. This means participants run multiple laps, with the half marathon consisting of 12 laps. The course design ensures aid stations and crew support are never more than a mile away.
Event Atmosphere
The organizers describe the event as low-key and non-competitive, focusing on personal goals rather than competition. They welcome walkers and aim to celebrate all participants. There is a four-hour time limit for all distances. The event has a participant cap to keep numbers manageable.
Aid Stations & Amenities
Aid stations are stocked with items like drinks, ice, banana smoothies (non-dairy), salty snacks, sunscreen, fruit, and post-race food. The registration fee includes race entry, a finisher medal for all distances, and standard race swag—typically a beach towel, with alternatives available.
Policies
Participants can change their target distance mid-race and will receive credit for the distance they complete. Registration is final and non-refundable. The race proceeds rain or shine but will be canceled for lightning or dangerous weather conditions. Participants are responsible for managing their effort in the expected heat and humidity.
