Schedule of Events

All times and details are subject to change. We appreciate your flexibility with shuttle times, etc. Please remember masks are required on the shuttle rides (Clearwater Jolly Trolley).
What to pack:
Don’t forget your favorite racing gear, a beach towel (to double as your yoga mat), a swimsuit and layers for cool evenings! Extra running shoes are a great idea if you are running both days, in case of rain. We hope to see lots of hot pink (2021 MOTR shirts) on the race course Saturday and Sunday mornings!
Dress is beach party casual for Friday night, “MOTR gear” casual Saturday night, and dressy (not formal) Sunday night.
