- Don't set your GPS for Anchor Park, because there's no parking there. Head to the Downtown Delray Beach garage at 94 NE 2nd Ave instead.
- Ride one of the three free shuttle buses from the downtown garage to the start, then catch a return shuttle back to the garage after the race.
- Carpool if you can, because beach parking near Anchor Park is limited and the organizers strongly recommend sharing rides on race morning.
- Give yourself extra time on race morning, because runners are asked to arrive at least half an hour before the 5K start.
- Register by November 3 to get the lowest race fee, because the price goes up in two steps after that date.
