So here is how the night race is going to work. As usual, we will get our map when we check in a midnight and will have time to figure out the routes we will take to hit the five check points on each leg; hiking, biking and canoeing. Of course we will all bit illuminated pretty well between flashlights, headlamps, glow sticks and bike lights. The biggest challenge of this race will be of course finding those checkpoints, especially considering there is a new moon tonight. But for good reason.
The whole purpose of this night race is to experience the bioluminescent waters of the St John River Lagoon. This Water is home to millions of tiny organisms that light up when disturbed. Each time we run our paddle through the water, a trail of light will explode in the water. It should be pretty spectacular.
