PALM100 Date Set for 2010
Saturday, March 27, 2010

Mark your race calendar for a unique and fun-filled running experience! Last March was the inaugural running of the PALM100, Six Runner 100 Mile Team Relay Race.  What an exciting day! At 6:00 AM, 18 teams left the starting Line at Las Olas Blvd. and A1A in Fort Lauderdale, to traverse this spectacular race route.  After arriving at the turn-around point in West Palm Beach, each team began the return South. 12 hours, 18 minutes and 17 seconds later, the winning team, Runners Angels, crossed the Finish Line on Fort Lauderdale Beach.  The last of the 18 teams, Yes We Ran, completed the course at 10:58 PM, running 100 miles in a little under 17 hours.  It was a job very well done in the face of exceptionally high winds and hot temperatures.

What will weather conditions and the long journey throw at us during the second running of the PALM100? No matter, because you will be running with five of your friends, with the group support and camaraderie that are the hallmarks of this user-friendly race format.

Team Relay:

Ever run a half-marathon or 10K?

Then the PALM100 Relay Race is perfect for you–and five of your running friends!  Our relay format is a lot of fun and easy to organize. It allows you and your mates a lot of flexibility in scheduling each "leg" of the race to fit your ability level, and to make changes to the plan during the race if you like. Then there is the creative side--naming your team, decorating your team vehicle, insulting the competition... Fun awards, too! Compete in a 100 mile race without running the entire distance yourself.  If your team decides to divide the distance equally among all team members, you will run 16-17 total miles for the day, broken into shorter segments, with plenty of recovery time between turns.   A day of running distance while hanging with friends.  That’s the PALM100 Team Relay.  Check out additional details at these website pages: " Tips on Running Relays", Race Facts & FAQ" and the "Route Map".

Charitable Fundraising:

The PALM100 raises money and provides funding for educational outreach and free prostate cancer screenings in South Florida, and supports prostate cancer research to find a cure.  See "Charities" and "Support Your Runner" pages on this website.
