Wanna go to Foot Locker South, but don't want to make the long drive to Charlotte, NC alone? Ride in style on a bus filled with other runners from around the state!
This year Floridians have two options to choose from: the East Coast bus and the Panhandle bus.
East Coast Trip: The O.G. of Foot Locker South Bus Trips
Coach Doug Butler of Holy Trinity Academy in Melbourne has been hosting the bus trip for eight years now. His bus will leave from Melbourne at 5:00am on Friday November 26 and will make various stops along I-95 headed north along the way to Charlotte. There is room for 52 people on the bus and the limited seats will go to the first 52 paid people.
The cost of $160 includes the race entry, bus, motel, team t-shirt, Foot Locker T-shirt, and "world famous" trivia and prizes on the bus.
Anyone interested contact Doug via email at coachdbutler@gmail.com.
Panhandle Trip: NKOTB
Coach Chris Sumner of Godby and Coach Oliver of West Florida are hosting this new bus trip, inspired by the original. The bus will leave from Tallahassee on Thursday November 25 at 8:00pm and will travel west along I-10 to Pensacola, making pick-up stops along the way. If enough Floridians don't sign up they are also open to making a stop or two in Alabama and Georgia along the way on I-65 or I-85 north to Charlotte.
The cost is $150 per person ($140 if not racing) and will include race entry, race program, bus ride, hotel room at host hotel, commemorative t-shirt, and snacks/drinks on bus.
