5K USATF Certified Course # FL15039EBM - 5K Course Map

The purpose of the USATF course certification program is to produce road race courses of accurately measured distances. For any road running performance to be accepted as a record or be nationally ranked, it must be run on a USATF-certified course. In addition, the certification program is very important to the average road racer, as well as those of exceptional speed. Most runners like to compare performances run on different courses, and such comparisons are difficult if course distances are not reliable. No one can truly establish a personal best if the course distance is not accurate.

Packet pickup is at the New Smyrna Beach Balloon & Sky Fest at a table to the right of the Main Gate. Hours are April 17, 4pm to 8pm; April 18, 8am to 8pm; and April 19, 7am to race start.

Race packet includes a run t-shirt, race number with attached chip, Official Program to the Sky Fest, other goodies, and a special bonus - one entry ticket to the New Smyrna Beach Balloon & Sky Fest which is good any day of the fest. Refreshments available at the race and at a water station on the course.
