LIVE RACE UPDATE (Nov. 15,
2020): With COVID-19 infection rates showing a dramatic increase
in recent weeks and so much uncertainty for the immediate future, we
have made the difficult, but necessary, decision to cancel the live
option for the Thin Mint Sprint, Tagalong Trot and Samoa Challenge on
January 9 at the Safety Harbor Marina.
We appreciate everyone who registered and we share your disappointment. Please know that our top priority is the health and safety of not only those who attend our events and their families, but the communities we serve.
