Running Zone Foundation invites you to live a legend where brave participants charge onward for a 10-mile journey in search of glory on the quest for Excalibur! We invite runners and walkers alike to experience the beautiful lands of Viera, Florida! The races start off at sunrise in a field where participants will charge into foreign lands and finish through the castle where family and friends can cheer! From lovely maidens and chivalrous knights to earn a finisher’s medal and a feast fit for Kings and Queens, the entire event is LEGENDary! Choose thy fate:

• 10 Miler
• Relay (grab a partner, run 5 miles each)
