US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather, bring anything you may want between laps, and check in with race staff if you need help. View Race Course, Results, and Race Information on the US Road Running race page.

7th Annual Shave for the Brave Put down the razor this No-Shave November and start growing your beard for a cause! Let your beard or mustache grow throughout November, then join us December 13th for the 7th Annual Shave for the Brave. The talented barbers from Proper Barber will be there to shave it all off—all while helping Live Like Cameron make Christmas a little brighter for local children battling cancer and their families. For children going through cancer treatment, losing their hair is often something they don't get to choose. Shave for the Brave gives our community an opportunity to stand beside them in a fun and meaningful way while raising funds to support local childhood cancer families. Don't have a beard? You can still be part of Shave for the Brave! Sponsor someone else's shave, become an individual or business sponsor, or make a general donation. Every shave and every donation helps us bring joy, comfort and hope to local childhood cancer families this Christmas. Since our first Shave for the Brave in 2020, our incredible community has helped us raise nearly $270,000. Each Christmas, we provide approximately 42 Christmas Bags of Hope to pediatric oncology patients and their siblings. These special bags include Christmas decorations to brighten their hospital rooms, comfort items for long hospital stays, and lots of fun presents to make Christmas morning special. Over the first six years of Shave for the Brave, we have delivered approximately 252 Christmas Bags of Hope. We also grant Christmas gift wishes for more than 40 local childhood cancer families every year in Flagler and Volusia Counties. When we support a family, we don't just provide gifts for the child battling cancer—we include all of their siblings as well. Cancer affects the entire family. Our goal is to give parents one less thing to worry about and make sure every child in the family feels remembered and special at Christmas. This year's Shave for the Brave will once again bring our community together for a full day of fun, fundraising and, of course, shaving!
