Description

The Volusia County Schools Home Run 5K course will take you by the beautiful Halifax Harbor Marina, along the City of Daytona Beach walking trails, and down historical Beach Street.

The morning & events will include a race start by the Daytona Tortugas’ mascot Sheldon and a Kids Fun Run around the bases! T-shirts, swag bags, and baseball themed Finisher Medals to the first 300 finishers, will make this race a Home Run for all!
