Family Reunite Area/Post Race Celebration Area
Plan to reunite with family or marathoners at the family reunite area. Alphabetically posted signs will divide the family reunite area and allow friends and family members to establish an exact meeting place after the race. Discuss this area with friends and family prior to the race and construct a detailed plan. Remember, it may take the marathon participant several minutes to make it through the finish area, pick up gear, and make it to the family reunite area. Be sure to plan accordingly. For runners’ convenience, Runners’ Village will feed directly into the Family Reunite Area.
Be sure to make your way to the entertainment stage at noon for the 26.2 with Donna the National Marathon To Fight Breast Cancer Awards Ceremony. Runners will be provided with two free beverages, while all other food and beverages will be available for sale. The Post-Race Celebration will feature live entertainment, a large screen to watch the race live, information, sponsor and marketing booths, souvenir sales, ATMs and restrooms.
Lost and Found
For lost items, please visit the information booth in the Family Reunite Area. Articles of clothing left along the race route are left at the owner’s expense and will not be taken to the lost and found area.
Anyone who is in need of finding the booth should ask the nearest police officer or event personnel where it is located. At the conclusion of the event, any lost items still unclaimed (i.e. keys, credit cards etc.) will be brought to the Command Center located on Mayo Clinic Campus. To retrieve items after February 21, call (904) 355-PINK.

There will be no race day parking on San Pablo Road, at the start line or near the Mayo Campus. Busses will depart to the marathon and half-marathon starting line at Mayo Clinic on Sunday morning from many convenient locations. Read more for shuttle locations and times.
