Hello all,

The Tampa Bay course will it be like the Marathon course, racing along the bridge?

The race has been moved back to St. Pete.

Ever feel like a yo-yo??

Anywayeeee...Where is the best place to stay near the course? Any suggestions??

Priced at under $300/day???

OH yes..What are the dates of the race??

Thanks

You're going to want to stay at the Vinoy! It's THE place to be. Great hotel, in the heart of downtown, on the water, next to the pits, a short distance to the pier, and it will be the host hotel.

The race will be the weekend of the 18th. Look here:

Wow, that upper left corner is going to be tight.

I can't wait!

The course is similar (but different) to Marathon. Anything but a rectangle

But the race is still along the bridge?

Negative. The race is now going to take place in the bay in and around the vicinity of the St. Pete pier and the Vinoy Basin.
