Shuttle
The start and finish lines are 1.2 miles apart. A free shuttle will travel in a continuous loop between them approximately every 15-20 minutes. Runners who wish to park at the finish line may take the pre-race shuttle to the start, and those who park at the start may take the shuttle back to the start area after their race.
The shuttle will begin to leave at 6:00 a.m. from the finish line. The last shuttle trip will leave at 1:00 p.m. from the finish line. If you might not complete the race in time to catch the 1:00 pm shuttle, please park at the finish line and warm up to or take the shuttle to the start, have a friend drop you off at the start, or plan to take a taxi/ride service back to the start. You may also choose to park halfway between the start and finish in a free meter spot, Civic Center or the FSU garage at 555 W. Pensacola St.
To make the 7:30 am start of the race, be at the shuttle pick-up at the finish line by 7:00 am. The shuttle will continue to operate after 7:00 am; however, there’s a good chance you’ll be late for the start of the race if you arrive at the shuttle pick-up after 7:00 am. The final pick-up is scheduled for 7:15 am.
