***

The Endless Summer 10K & 5K Beach Run/Walk are presented by Don’s Friends and benefit 2 Great Charities… Don’s FRIENDS and Friends of Anastasia. The Event is hosted by Anastasia State Park, which is a BEAUTIFUL Ocean Front State Park located in St. Augustine, Florida… over 4 Miles of PRISTINE Ocean Front Beach.

Ocean Front, Anastasia State Park is an active Sea Turtle nesting area. Our very popular graphics for the Endless Summer Runs feature a New Sea Turtle graphic each year. Our Turtle Shirts have been extremely Popular. In fact, it’s the “BEST T-Shirt in Running HISTORY” (so says the artist). Each runner will receive a Performance Tech T-shirt featuring our full-color Turtle graphic. This year is our BEST EVER!!

The 10K (6.2 mile) run through Anastasia State Park’s beach, hammock, and salt marsh takes you through some of St. Johns County’s most beautiful terrain. The race begins at the Island Beach Shop and Grill with a beach loop that is followed by pavement, dirt roads, and soil through the east nature trail and hammock loop. Runners will return to the pavement and then another trail as they head to the marsh loop. The last leg of the run shoots the runners back down the main park road to the finish line at the Island Beach Shop and Grill.

This is a cross country run and participants must be fit to run or walk on soft sand, uneven terrain, mixed pavement types, and hills with sun exposure, heat, and humidity, etc.

The 5K beach run/walk start line is at the Island Beach Shop and Grill (same as 10K) and is over 90% on Anastasia State Park’s beautiful beach with the same finish line as the 10K. Both the 5K and 10K are timed for a low tide.
