The Chasing the Sun Endurance Run takes place at Robinson Preserve in Bradenton, Florida. Participants can choose from a 4.35-mile loop, a half marathon, full marathon, 50K, team relay, or an all-day endurance challenge. This race utilizes repeated loops instead of a point-to-point course, allowing runners to select anything from a brief single-loop effort to an extended day of continuous laps. The course combines pavement, sand, and shell, with the majority of the running surface consisting of sand and shell, making trail shoes and gaiters advisable. Runners will traverse preserve terrain offering views of Tampa Bay, the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, and Anna Maria Island. All participants, excluding those in the 4.35-mile category, are required to begin with their own water container. Aid is provided at a staffed station near mile 2, offering water, Gatorade, soda, and snacks, along with a self-serve water stop around mile 3 and provisions at the finish line for those concluding their race or preparing for another lap.

The Haunted 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, and Marathon at Heritage Harbor Park in Bradenton, Florida, offers four running distances on the same morning, all themed for Halloween. All races begin at 8:00 AM. Runners must register in advance via RunSignup and collect their packets just before the event; no registration is available on race day. The event's layout is functional and contained, with parking near the playground in the expansive lot and a six-hour time limit for all distances. The races feature short, repeated out-and-back courses, meaning participants will traverse the same section multiple times rather than completing a single, extended loop. The 5K consists of one 3.11-mile out-and-back segment. The 10K covers this segment twice. The half marathon utilizes a 3.28-mile out-and-back course four times, and the marathon repeats this same route eight times. All finishers earn medals, and costume awards complement the Haunted theme. The event also contributes to series points for participants in the broader race series.

The Sarasota Marathon & Half Marathon is held at Nathan Benderson Park in Sarasota, utilizing a 1-mile loop. The full marathon is USATF certified and serves as a Boston Marathon qualifier, attracting runners focused on achieving a qualifying time, improving a personal best, or maintaining a consistent pace on a predictable course. The loop is flat and fast, offering a practical repetition. Runners reach the aid station, stocked with water and electrolyte drinks, each mile. Participants are permitted to place their own nutrition on the aid tables, and some arrange for a support crew to provide it during the event. The race is limited to 75 participants, with shirts and finisher medals for all, and awards presented in 5-year age groups for both the marathon and half marathon.
