The race starting line will be at Museum Park and the route goes around the MacArthur Causeway onto Watson Island and return.  

Entry to the race is $30 per adult plus $2.64 registration fee and $10 per student plus a $1.54 registration fee. Once tickets are chosen, participants may select a school or administrative office from the drop-down menu on the registration site. Each team will require a team captain.
