Keeping Central Florida Fit is our mission. Walkers are encouraged to participate in all Track Shack races.
We are committed to providing access for runners, walkers and wheelchair athletes in our events. However, we must institute course time limits to adhere to municipal requirements. Municipalities require that roadways are clear of participants and opened as soon as the race is complete. Participants must be able to maintain a 15 minute per mile pace. Participants who are unable to maintain that pace will be directed on to the sidewalk by race officials. Those who finish outside of the time limit may not be recorded as official finishers and may not receive full on-course support from Aid Stations and traffic personnel.
Safety for all participants is our first priority and we are happy to permit strollers for a fun family outing. With thousands of runners and walkers sharing the road, this event is not a place for speed with a stroller. The policy below will help keep our youngest and oldest participants safe and having fun.
