Entry fees are tiered by date and category. The organizer states there are no refunds, deferrals, or transfers. Registration is available online and at 1st Place Sports store computers. All entrants receive a running hat; finishers in each event receive finisher shirts. An awards ceremony is held after the races at the Reef Restaurant on A1A (4100 Coastal Hwy St, Augustine, 32084). Race photos are posted online after the event.

Course and logistics

The 50K uses a 7.75-mile clockwise loop that begins and ends at the trailhead. The surface is mostly hard-pack trail with several oak tree roots; the course is described as approximately 90% shaded. The 12K start line is moved forward on the trail to create the shorter distance. Time limits are: 9 hours for the 50K, 7 hours for the 2x25K format, and 3 hours for the 12K. Packet pickup is race-day only at the start/finish area. Parking inside the reserve is $3.00 per vehicle; use the southernmost entrance just north of the Exxon station.
