About the Parrots and Margaritas 5K Run/Walk
The course starts and finishes at a waterfront restaurant called Kaya Island Eats, which means you end right where the post-race party begins. Key West streets are flat and the surroundings are what you would expect: salt air, palm trees, and people who are not in a hurry. Flip flops are apparently acceptable footwear, which tells you something about the pace of the morning.
