Island Run

Q: Are guests/non runners welcome ?
A: One cool feature of this event is that it is opens up the possibilities for couples or friends or groups who want to travel together even though some may not be runners. The runs are short enough that if you come down with  someone who just wants to support you or just wants to relax they'll be able to enjoy every other aspect of the event itinerary and chill out for a couple of hours at remote beach areas and beautiful locales near the finish line each day, even though they are not coming to race.
