Course Amenities & What to Expect
We pride ourselves in making sure our courses are beautiful, challenging, and a whole lotta fun.
In addition to all the normal race essentials, we strive to make each race day as convenient and spectacular as possible.
Kids Just $100
Children 12 and under can register for the entire weekend for just $100.
Porta Johns
We’ve got 200 toilets on our courses so you’ll never have to do “the dance”
Parties that don’t quit
Our daily finish line parties crank up 90 minutes after start and keep rocking for hours. Finish first or last, we’ll still be cheering you on… with hundreds of friends
Experienced crew
Our veteran walkers/runners are trained in every aspect of the event. They’re there to direct you, answer questions, lend a hand, radio for a ride, or just give ya a high five
First aid
Our pitstops are packed with race essentials so you’ll never miss a step. And our team of first responders is never more than five minutes away, if the need arises
Diverse courses
Pavement is nice, but the good stuff happens on the trails, pathways, beaches, and gorgeous golf courses! We’ve even found a way to include HILLS in our 2019 courses thanks the ancient dune system on Hunting Island. Note: Friday’s course is probably not suited for strollers or wheelchairs
Bag Drop
Leave your post-race stuff with our Bag Managers and they’ll keep it safe while you’re on the course. Your goods will be waiting for you at the finish line!
Free Pictures
Enjoy thousands of professional photos of our weekend together, at no additional charge!
Water, gatorade & snacks
We’re doubling down on the trail mix, popcorn, orange slices, grapes, apples, bananas, ice pops, energy balls, and power bars. Get treats every 2ish miles
Swag
We’ve got extra special swag for yall this year: long sleeve tech shirt, custom eyeblacks, Fancy headband, and FlockStar photo frame. Oh, and let’s not forget the 4 medals!
Pacers and sweepers
We’re adding cyclists to the front of the pack to give our runners someone to chase to the finish line! Bicycle guides and golf cart patrols will also be dispersed throughout the course to keep everyone on track and offer assistance if needed
Direct access
Our emergency phone number is printed on the back of your bib so you’re just a phone call away from first aid or a ride
Convenience
Our start lines/bus pickups are all on Fripp so if you’re staying on island, you can ride your golf cart in five minutes. There’s also plenty of parking if you plan on day-tripping to the island each day (please carpool)
Discount on Accommodations
Our host sponsors have a special PTP discount on houses and villas.
Sleep
Staying at Fripp means you can sleep in and enjoy the 9am starts on Fri and Sat (and 7:30am on Sunday)
Speed
Our survivors will lead the pack each morning, but we will corral the runners immediately behind them and start the official race clock three minutes after the survivors depart. Our top three finishers will be recognized each day 🙂
Short cuts
We know life happens, so we’ve got 5-mile short cuts available each day
Easy access
Fly into any of the three nearby airports and then carpool to the island with new friends you meet in our Facebook group
Pump up the jam
We’ve got three new amps for our PA system so you’ll hear us no matter where you try to hide! And our very own DJ Alan is already booked for four days of antics, ridiculousness, and laughing-til-you-pee shenanigans.
