Runners follow an out-and-back route that starts and finishes in Fernandina’s Main Beach Park at the early December Reindeer Run Half Marathon, and then head out on a course that takes them first along the beachfront homes along the Amelia Island seashore and through downtown Fernandina Beach. From there, runners head north into Fort Clinch State Park, where they run through tree-covered park roads for the next several miles.
