BIKE COURSE *UPDATE*

We have made a modification to the bike course to avoid as many plates as possible that FPL has put in the roadway during their construction (see image below), however you will still encounter some.  Please stay to the right, except when passing (no plates on the right in the bike lane).  If you are passing, please look ahead to see if you’ll need to ride over a plate and get out of your aero bars and be careful if you do so.  This only affects the portion of the course bordering Crandon Park (about 1 mile).

We have modified the bike course and eliminated the 2nd u-turn (yay, u-turns stink) by the south entrance to the park.  Bikes will now turn left to enter the park at the north entrance (red line) and exit the park at the northernmost exit (green line) (see map).  Here’s the link to the new course: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/40260394 The international distance will do this twice.

The traffic counterflow to remove cars from our side of the Causeway will now start at the Crandon north entrance, THUS you will need to enter the park at the 2nd Crandon entrance (blue line).  Here’s a link to the directions: https://goo.gl/maps/Ya8ms263kr7vTKnaA  You will turn left as soon as you enter the park to go to lot #2 on the north side of the park (see map).  We will have an “EVENT PARKING” sign where you turn in and inside the park directing you left to the correct parking lot. 

Parking is done with the Pay by Phone system so there won’t be any long lines to get into the park. Here’s the link that I found online: https://www.parkme.com/lot/97603/crandon-park-key-biscayne-fl.

You may have noticed on the first of the maps above that we also moved the finish line to the other side of the field where the transition is.  We did this for multiple reasons, the biggest was to get the finish area in the shade due to the heat!  Otherwise, the run course is the same.

• Registration: Online only. No in person registration, cash exchanged, etc.
• Timing Chips: Please remove your own timing chip at the finish line.
• Body-marking:  Please pick up your packet at the early packet pickup and you will receive body marking tattoos that you can self apply before the race.  If you pick up race morning, please bring your own wet sponge, hand towel, or paper towel to apply the tattoos to yourself.  Here’s a video showing how to self apply: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vt6PdG21C3o You will have 3 numbers to apply (your 3 digit number) rather than a single tattoo with all 3 digits, so be sure to put them in the right order.  Please apply them to your left bicep so our backup timers and photographers can easily identify you.
• Health Screening:  Do not attend if you have any symptoms (including fever, cough, sore throat, etc.) or have been exposed to anyone that has tested positive for COVID19 within the last 14 days.  Please consider EVERYONE else!
• Time Trial Start:  We will start in a time trial format, though still grouped according to category.  Don’t line up until your group is called to do so.  If you prefer keeping your distance, stay to the side and let the starter know you are there so he can call you through before he starts the next group one at a time.  The wave chart below will show the approximate time that your group will start.
