About the Chasing the Sun Endurance Run
The course runs through Robinson Preserve, looping around a trail system that mixes pavement, sand, and shell underfoot. Sand and shell make up most of it, so the footing is softer than a typical trail race. You get open views toward Tampa Bay along the way. Trail shoes are not required but make sense here, and gaiters help keep the shell and sand out.
Aid stations are spread across the course, stocked with water, Gatorade, soda, and snacks. You are expected to carry your own water unless you are doing the shortest loop. The finish area has food trucks, post-race food, ice baths, and massage. The preserve asks that runners pack out their trash between stations, which keeps the place worth coming back to.
