what is the lay out of the run? how far do you actually boat? how many boats come? is there an entry fee to do this or what is the info? id like to get out of the great white north for a time this winter

Thanks

You start from the hotel and run down the river I think 20ish miles...? Looks like theres a solid number of boats planning on attending this year, I'm going for the first time and another friend coming with. No entry fee, just bring some toys. Read through this thread for some info, also some videos from past events.

You gonna bring that DCB?

This is my favorite charity and I'll be donating some toys. Enjoy the run and donate lots of toys!

We are going to give this one a try this year as well.

Oh jeeze that's a heck of a drive from NY to run the boat 20 miles lol

25 miles to the friday lunch stop < 25 miles back . 25 miles to the toy drop off with lunch and 25 miles back ... the river is wide open for every type of boat . . please explore the area . Many break off and visit silver glenn springs the most beautiful springs in Fla 72 degrees year round and the water even tastes goog
