About the Winter Sprinter 3K
The course runs through Brevard Zoo in the evening, with holiday light displays lining the route the whole way. It is an after-dark loop through the zoo grounds, so the surroundings are more festive than your typical road race, and the pace feels unhurried given the setting.
Packet pickup details come in a pre-race email sent roughly a week out, with several in-person options to choose from. Water and Gatorade are stationed at points along the course and at the start and finish area.
