Question about the actual race since I'm now in for 2021.... The course is different than last year. Didn't last year start at the boardwalk beach hotel? Reading other threads it seems like 2019 is an outlier and this 2020 course is the standard layout. Is that right? Is this year's course to be expected again in 21? Obv I know 2018 was an outlier since it was in a totally different place...
Thanks good luck to all racing this year be safe
The race has always started at boardwalk beach hotel with 2018 (Haines city) and 2020 being the exceptions. This year, the race was moved to pier park (5 miles north). I assume that move was made for more available space at that new venue. It’s unclear whether pier park will be the new location of the race going forward or if it will go back to the original location. The bike course is mostly the same between the two with a few minor tweaks.
