New Four Wave Start for 15K

This Zone is located at the front of the starting line on Gator Bowl Blvd. This wave, which will start at the sound of the cannon, will include the Top 5,000 seeded positions. Runners in Wave One will be seeded into six color zones based on submitted qualifying times. Each runner must submit the name of the race, date of race, distance, and finish time when they register. These zones will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis: Yellow Zone 1-300, Blue Zone 301-1000, Red Zone 1001-2000, Green Zone 2001-3000, Orange Zone 3001-4000, Black Zone 4001-5000. If you already have your qualifying time, register now, so you know you have a spot in one of these seeded zones! For more information on this top 5,000, click here!
