- When: Saturday, April 8, 2023, 7:00 am
- Location: Topsail Hill Preserve State PArk, Santa Rosa Beach, FL, 32459
The 2023 Great 30A Easter Race, presented by Good News Church, will be taking place at Topsail Hill Preserve State Park on Saturday, April 8, 2023. The race starts at 7a. Runners will have two distinct courses to choose from: the CLEAN FEET 5K course and the STINKY FEET 10K course.
There will be an awards ceremony beginning at ~8:45a, where the men’s and women’s winners + runner ups for both courses will receive their awards. Age-group awards for both courses will also be given. All registered runners who cross the finish line of their respective race will also receive a very cool finisher's medal. All registered runners will also receive a very cool short-sleeve race shirt.
Event Details and Schedule:
Course Info. Both courses are run entirely inside Topsail Hill Preserve State Park. The park doesn't open to the public until 8a on race morning, so we'll largely have the park to ourselves for the first hour.
Again, we’ll be offering two very different courses for you to choose from:
1. The Clean Feet 5K: The Clean Feet 5K course consists of a fantastic out-and-back route run completely on a paved surface. This course should be fast for those seeking a 5K PR, but most definitely stroller-friendly for those wanting to enjoy the views.
2. The Stinky Feet 10K: The Stinky Feet 10K course has it all: pavement, beach (and obviously beach views!), majestic pines, and dune lakes. You can expect ~2 miles on paved roads, ~1.25 miles on sand, and ~3 miles on trails. And yes, by the end, your feet will likely be stinky...but you will have earned those stinky feet! Just a fantastic course.

Awards:
Again, there will be an awards ceremony beginning at 8:45a, where the men’s and women’s winners + runner ups for both courses will receive their awards.

Timing:
Professional timing will be provided by International Running Company
Parking Info:
There will be limited parking at the park itself. Most runners will have to proceed to Butler Elementary. TukTuk30A will be standing by to shuttle runners to the start line. After the race, they'll be standing by to take runners back to Butler. Should you choose to hoof it, it's around a 1.1 mile walk each way between Butler and the race start/finish.
Packet Pick-up:
Early packet pick-up will take place on Friday, April 7th (place TBD) from 3:30-7p. Race day packet pick-up will begin at 6:10a on race morning.
