The meet will also be live streamed on fl.milesplit.com for those that cannot attend as well as race replays and photo gallery of the meet as part of the meet coverage on the website.
IMPORTANT START TIME CHANGE
We have decided to bump the meet start back to 5:30 PM on Saturday with the high of 90 degrees in Fort Myers area as always the goal of the meet was to have a meet finish between 9-9:30 PM for a good portion of the competition to be held later in the evening with cooler temperatures as the sun goes down. The start time was always going to be adjusted based on the size of the meet to set up to finish in that time frame.
The meet size should really take about 3 hours to complete. We will run an efficient meet, but not a super-fast pace on a rolling schedule to allow athletes to double or even triple. The venue and gates will open up for warmup for athletes and spectators to enter at 4:30 PM sharp. No earlier.
