What to expect

An evening race in December, so the 5K starts around sunset. The 1-mile is a non-competitive run and walk, which makes it the easy pick for kids and anyone who'd rather stroll. The 5K is listed as a run and walk too, so walkers are welcome in both.

Parking and getting there

The race page lists 2018 San Marco Blvd. as the address but doesn't post parking details. Check your registration emails for parking and road closure notes.

Before you go

The race page doesn't list packet pickup details, so watch for an email from the race contact listed on Race Roster. If you're making a night of it, the Jacksonville Symphony's Holiday Pops also runs that weekend.
