Registration for the virtual event begins today and can be accessed HERE.

Florida and Georgia fans will compete against one another in running/walking races, including a 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, and 1-mile Kids Fun Run. Registration is $45 for one race, $50 for two, or $60 for the full race bundle and will be available until the last day of the race on April 22.

All registrants will receive a registration packet, including a Florida- or Georgia-branded long-sleeve dry fit shirt, the official race medal, and a car decal. Early bird registration closes on March 23 at 11:59 p.m. On March 24, the standard registration price will increase to $55.
