Bound for Boston Marathon & Half Marathon - Sarasota
This event is held at Nathan Benderson Park and uses a 1 mile flat loop for all laps. The full marathon course is USATF certified and the full marathon is designated as a Boston qualifier. Organizers describe the event as focused on serious runners and limit the field to a small number of participants.
Race support includes an aid table stocked with water and an electrolyte drink. Participants may place personalized aid on the tables for each lap. Music and course entertainment are provided along the route. Timing is chip based with start and finish recorded and chip timed splits every mile; mile splits are displayed on timing clocks as runners pass each mile marker.
All participants receive a race shirt and a finisher medal. Awards are given for both distances in standard five year age groups. A virtual race option is available for those who cannot attend on site; virtual entrants can submit results online and remain eligible for awards.
