Instructions
Download the Second Wind Timing app using the links below.
Once the app is installed, select the "April Fools Half" icon and provide permission to receive notifications.
Then, simply search for your favorite athlete and click on the plus arrow to follow them on race day!
Important Note:
Athletes will only appear in the tracking app after they’ve been assigned a bib number.
If you’re not seeing someone you’re trying to follow, it likely means they haven’t received their bib yet—or the app hasn’t updated with their assignment. As bibs are assigned and synced, tracking will automatically update.
We recommend checking back closer to race day if you’re not seeing someone listed just yet.
Free Beer
All runners ages 21 and over receive a ticket for one FREE beer or seltzer at Margaritaville or LandShark Bar & Grill located on the Boardwalk at the finish line.
