Sunshine Double
Sunshine Double is a two-day set of lap-format road races held at Cady Way Park in Winter Park, FL. Events are organized as low-key, no-frills races on a flat, paved, partly shaded bike and running path with convenient on-site parking.
Distances contested each day include:
- 50K - 31 miles, lap format, 14 laps plus two short laps
- Marathon - 26.2 miles, 12 laps
- Half Marathon - 13.1 miles, 6 laps
- 10K - 6.2 miles, four laps of a 1.55-mile loop
- 5K - 3.1 miles, two laps of a 1.55-mile loop
Courses are open and include two street crossings per lap; runners are responsible for crossing safely. Timing is hand timed without chips, and courses are not certified so they are not Boston qualifiers. There are no age-group awards, no apparel giveaways, and minimal postrace amenities.
The only aid station is at the start and finish location and is passed twice each lap; chilled water, sports drink, soda, and salty and sweet snacks are provided. The event is cupless, so participants should bring their own bottles or hydration systems; a table is provided for personal bottles. Bathrooms are permanent facilities located a short walk from the start and passed each lap. Drop bags can be left at the start pavilion. A generous time limit of about 9.5 hours is published for longer distances. Volunteers may earn race entries for full volunteer days.
