Each distance runs begins at 9 a.m. The course is an out and back north on the fully paved Pinellas Trail (each loop a 5K so 3 laps for the 15K run). An awesome selection of finisher's medals are put out for each runner to choose from that celebrate the season.

Each distance and is open to all ages and levels of ability. We also welcome families so we are both kid and dog friendly. Register early and save!

An email will be sent to ALL registrants the day before the race which will include your bib number assignment along with your waiver to participate on event morning. For those travelling or without a printer we will have waivers on site but bringing it with you moves check in much more quickly. Occasionally we have a few bad email addresss so if you don’t receive the final email the day before the race please email XanaduRaceManagement@gmail.com and we’ll get it to you. Sometimes when you register multiple people only one person gets the Active.com confirmation but ALL registrants will need the email from Suzanne the day before the run.

Parking is encourage in downtown Dunedin at the artisan Artisan parking garage at 356 Monroe Street, Dunedin, FL 34698 then walk toward the venue using the Pinellas Trail.

Check in is RACE MORNING ONLY beginning at 8 a.m. Each registrant will receive one dry fit promotional run shirt and one awesome event theme’d finisher’s medal, as well as a free beer armband that can be redeemed after your run at our HOB Brewing Company post race party.

We will have a bag check zone if you don’t want to go back to your car. This is a family environment with a great party zone on site.

We will have a table at the finish line shoot for first 15 males and first 15 females in each distance so be sure to grab one if they are still there when you finish your distance.  Weatherswood Timing will be scoring the race but results ARE purposely not posted at the venue so we can maintain our light hearted group of non-competitive runners and walkers. You can find your finish time in overall results later in the afternoon at www.727CanRace.com  We also bring additional top finisher’s frames for seniors and our younger runners so if you had an exceptional day (any age) let Suzanne know at the microphone and we’ll award you for your performance! Age group awards slow down the day and we have used this method the last 9 years and it works out BEAUTIFULLY for the laid back group of runners we attract. We are the number once search for travelers looking for holiday running events!

After the post race party we encourage you to walk downtown to see exactly what all the rave is about Dunedin, Florida from our shops, restaurants, 13 breweries, and amazing marina district. Dunedin is also home to the famous Honeymoon Island State Park so make a day of it if you can. Thanks for joining us and we look forward to seeing you race morning!
