Race of the Runways 2014 is part of the Palm Coast Race Series. The Rotary Club of Flagler Beach has teamed up with other health and wellness initiatives to help get people “moving”. To encourage people to get active, including a discount registration sponsored by the Florida Hospital Flagler to get youth and families active and healthy, we are offering 1 mile, 2 mile and 5K walk option, as well as a ¼ mile Kiddie Dash for youth (1yr – 9 yr). The Rotary encourages people of all ages to use this event to set a goal and Just Move. In recognition of Valentine’s Day, they are offering a “Sweethearts Forever” registration for $45, a savings of $5. They are also premiering a new award for ‘Best Overall Couple’ for sweethearts with lowest time.

The event is co-sponsored by the Palm Coast Observer, Florida Hospital Flagler, Flagler County Tourist Development Council, Curley Tail Designs, Alliance Financial Partners, pcBike, Gerling Travel, Panacea Integrative Heath Coaching, and Rue, Ziffra and Caldwell.
