SCR Runner of the Year Series Race #7
The 39th Eye of the Dragon 10K is a challenging USATF certified (FL22006JK) road race which includes an out and back course over the Eau Gallie Causeway and the Indian River. We’re sure you’ll find the climb, if not the view, breathtaking. If you’re not up to the full 6.1 miles, join us for the Tail of the Lizard 2 Mile. Think you can do more? Run both distances in the Slay the Beast Challenge. You’ll take home 3 medals for 2 challenging races. All will take place under the watchful eye of the dragon!
Don’t forget. We’re in the Space Coast Runners “Runner of the Year” Series so SCR members run to score points. Race proceeds benefit the Space Coast Runners Christian Lake Memorial Scholarship Fund. Timing by Running Zone. Event management by Power of Pizza Charities.
