Babcock Ranch is America's first solar-powered town located in Southwest Florida.  It will eventually be home to 50,000 residents.  The Half Marathon will start and finish in our  gathering place; Founder's Square.  The Half Marathon will start at 6.30 AM, and The Jingle Bell 5K race will start at :8:00 AM. There will be incremental starts for both the Half Marathon & 5K.  Start times will be based on expected finishing time.  Mini Corals will be in place. There will be no race day registration, but a week long "packet pick up," which will be the week preceding the race.


A very flat course with no hills only a couple of smaller low lying foot bridges. The Half Marathon course will take in the beautiful and scenic neighborhoods of Babcock Ranch, as well as Dick Cuda Trail and Sunset Park. There will also be 1.5 miles on our scenic Dr. Hammond Trails, which offers some of the most beautiful views in the area.
