THE RACE
The 2-Day Bridge Challenge runs on the Cady Way Trail in Winter Park, FL on February 20–21, 2027. This is a modified out-and-back on an accessible, measured trail. Pick your distance. Pick your path. Show up and run.
THE COURSE
The race starts and finishes at the pavilion at Cady Way Park. Every repeat brings you back to the SR 436 bridge — 685 feet of elevated asphalt rising over Semoran Blvd. It climbs. It descends. And you come back to it. Every repeat. It does not get easier. It gets familiar. There is no way around it. That is the point. Runners may access their own vehicle if parked along the course.

RACE DAY CUTOFF
Race day cutoff: 2:00 PM. This applies to the full race day — not per distance. Runners still on course after the cutoff will be directed off course.
TWO WAYS TO REGISTER
Standalone — one race day, one distance. No pledge. No tier. Daily finisher recognition.
2-Day Streak — both days, consecutive. Sign your personal pledge. Earn built-in Streak pricing and your tier patch upon completion. To register as a Streak runner, select 2-Day Streak at registration — not the individual day listings. You will pick your distance for Day 1 and Day 2 and sign your personal pledge before checkout. Registering for each day separately puts you in as Standalone. The Streak path is its own registration option.
EVENT DETAILS
THIS IS A BARE-BONES EVENT
- No shirts.
- No race bags.
- No expo.
- No chip timing.
- No disposable cups.
You carry your own hydration — handheld bottle, vest, or waist pack. Water, electrolytes, and basic snacks are at the aid station. The rest is on you. Timing is manual. When you finish: cross the line, strike the GONG, pull your Finish Ticket, and record your bib number, ticket number, distance, and race clock time in the Finish Ledger. Times are posted in hour and minute format only. No ledger entry = no official finish record.
COURSE SUPPORT
Start and finish line only. Runners may access their own vehicle if parked along the course.
BIBS
Bibs available for pickup on race day beginning one hour before your scheduled start time. No ID required. A friend may pick up on your behalf. No bib transfers.
HEADPHONES
Use of personal audio devices is strongly discouraged. Be aware of your surroundings at all times.
