Event Details

Option 1: 5 Mile MAIN EVENT starts at 12 noon. Regardless of which distance optiom, plan to arrive at Front Street Park by around 11:45 so you can run the first (or final) 5 miles from Front Street Park over the causeway and arrive as a large group at Ocean Park Beach. This is a POINT TO POINT run from Front Street park in Melbourne and ends beach side at Ocean Park in Melb Bch. If you choose the 5 miler, you need to make transportation arrangements.

Option 2: 21 Miles for 2021 To run 21, you will start at Ocean Park on the beach, out and back twice! Loop around Frobt street park for 1 crazy fun mile, then run the final 5 miles from Front Street back to the beach. Plan your time accordingly! You want the first 16 miles completed so you arrive at Front Street around 11:45.
Option 3: 10 Mile. This is out and back. To run 10, you will start at Ocean Park and run the main Solar Bear Course beach to Front street, join the MAIN EVENT group at 11:45 and complete the final 5 miles from Front Street back to Ocean Park on the beachside. Follow the 5 mile course in reverse for the first 5 miles.
For the MAIN EVENT - the FINAL 5: The idea is to keep a casual pace in a COVID SPACED way. Once at the beach, all Solar Bears are encouraged to take a plunge in the chilly Atlantic Ocean.
Wear your New Year's Attire: Party Hats, Noise makers and foolery encouraged. Bring a beach chair, towel, and consider something to share at the finish. There will be water along the course, and some light refreshments at the finish provided by whoever brings them to share! ?
Please adhere to COVID recommendations. Consider wearing a mask before and after running. This is a large group, we don't want to be a super spreader event! Stay Safe. Social Distance Running
