Hopefully, with a few days to go you’re registered to run the 25th Anniversary Classics By The Sea event. Held each year in Jupiter’s Carlin Park, this race allows runners to race on the amazing State Route A1A road, alongside the Atlantic Ocean.
Everything from our annual sea-themed long sleeve tech shirts to the fast course has become a favorite for locals and visitors. The race was often held prior to the Christmas holiday break, where runners competed wearing Santa hats and jingle bells. The race then became a first event of the New Year, seeing folks make good on fitness resolutions. Out of town guests have always loved the park, basically flat course and water views. Locals delight in being able to race against their family and friends to secure “bragging rights” for another year. It’s a special event for all involved.
If you’re coming out to run with us, spectate or volunteer at this year’s run, remember to arrive early. Although the 10k begins at 7:30 am and 5k at 7:40 am, the road will close considerably earlier than that. This is due to the Kid’s 1 Mile event beginning at 7:10 am. Jupiter Police will make sure you have clear roads to run on by closing A1A in front of Carlin Park early. This means that if you want to park at Carlin Park on either side of the road, we suggest you arrive around 6:30 am. The alternative once JPD closes the road is to park at Maltz Theater or the stores and lots on Indiantown Road leading back west to Publix. There are advantages to getting up early on race day!
Let’s make the 2025 Classics By The Sea a memorable and safe event – See you Saturday morning!
