I've done this race twice, in 2012 and 2013. My experience was the same both times.
I have nothing but good things to say about this race. It's an awesome idea, and it's a tough challenge...especially during Jacksonville's really humid summer.
The course takes you around the Jacksonville Jaguars' practice fields, then up and down all the levels of the stadium. You do one lap around the football field, and finish just outside the field. If you're like me and don't train on hills, this is tough. Just when you think you are done with the inclines, there's another round to climb.
Parking is free and plentiful at EverBank Field, and you get a medal and a tshirt. My one "complaint" is that I never saw any representation from the Jaguars. It would have been cool to have the mascot or some players there. I know it's not a Jaguars themed race, but it's based around the building they play in, so that would have been a cool addition.
