EnjoySPI.com — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 19:27:13 +0000

April 28, 2012, 8:30 pm

From RunInTexas.com

About this Event

8:30 pm START FOR BOTH RACES!!! Start and finish at LaQuinta Inn Beach Resort on South Padre Island. Click this link for location info.

The Sand Crab, run entirely on sand, is a great way to get a little exercise under the stars on a beautiful South Padre Island Beach at night, get fed, have a few beers while listening to great music with other runners on a warm spring night. This 5K run is very walker friendly with a 2hr cut off. The 10K is walkable but will share the 2 hr cut off. 10K runners must be at the 3.1 mile turnaround within 1 hour. Click here to see the course.

The Sand Crab starts on the beach behind LaQuinta Inn and runs south for 3.1 or 1.55 miles (depending on the event). Turnaround at flashing yellow lights manned by a course marshal and head back to the finish.

The course will follow glow sticks and LED tiki torches. LED Tikis stay lit in any wind but they do not light the beach for you to see. They only let you know where the course is.Runners are required to run with a flashlight or head lamp in order to see. Without them you will not see sand castle holes and other hazards. Make sure you have ample lighting in order to run a pitch dark beach at night.

There are 2 watertops with HEB Quench and water hit 2X ea for the 10K and 1 hit 2X for the 5K. After finishing, runners receive bbq with all the fixins and cold cerveza for those of age. Extra BBQ plates available for $10 (this is a good deal).

Please bring a new, unwrapped toy for needy kids or make a monetary donation at the event or when registering online.
