Event Overview
Burn Your Half Off Florida is a summer running event held in Ocala at Baseline Greenway Park. The event focuses on a non-competitive, low-key environment often compared to a family picnic. The race occurs in typically hot and humid Florida summer conditions, and the organizers maintain a hard participant cap to ensure a small-scale experience.
Course Information
The race utilizes a paved loop of approximately one mile. Participants completing the half marathon will cover this loop 12 times. This layout ensures that the primary aid station is never more than one mile away from any runner. The course is open to both runners and walkers, and the event has a total time limit of four hours for all distances.
Available Distances
The following distances are offered:
- 5K (Fiery 5K)
- 10K (Toasty 10K)
- Half Marathon (Hot Half Marathon)
Services and Amenities
The aid station is stocked with water, Gatorade, Gu, salty snacks, fruit, and dairy-free banana smoothies made with ice. Other items such as sunscreen and ice are also provided to help participants manage the climate. Registration includes a finisher medal for all distances and race swag, which is typically a beach towel. The race director allows participants to change distances during the event; runners can move to a longer distance by paying the price difference or switch to a shorter distance mid-race while still receiving a medal and credit for the distance completed.
