Orbits, not laps
One orbit is one mile. A half marathon is 13.1 orbits. A marathon is 26.2. Your distance is your orbit count.

The idea
The race runs through the festival.
A one-mile loop through West Palm Beach's Warehouse District. Sunrise to sunset. Choose your distance and run it in laps.
Every lap brings you back through the middle of everything. Music. Coffee. Food. Recovery. Science. Talks. The people who came to cheer for you. Unlike a road race, you never disappear onto a course for hours. You are always in it.
A first-time 5K runner shares the loop with someone running 50K. Same course. Same day. Same finish line. Different journeys. Same orbit.
1 MI
One loop
The whole festival is one mile around. Every lap of every distance runs through the middle of it, and everyone finishes at the same line.
Sunset
Final Orbit
When the light goes, everyone runs one last mile together. Runners, families, friends, volunteers. The last thing that happens at ORBIT.
Not yet
Some things we are keeping in the dark for now.
Each one gets revealed to subscribers first. Then to everyone else.
- The mileWe know every corner of it. You will see the map when registration opens.
With registration - The Science of MotionWe are working on a science exhibit for the loop about what running does to a body. Speed. Force. Heat. Heart rate. Step in between laps and see how it works.
Reveal 01 - Orbit VillageThe middle of the loop is the middle of the day. Recovery and mobility between laps. Coffee. Food. And a stage where people who know something about movement get up and talk. Every lap runs through it.
Reveal 02 - The CupYour gym. Your run club. Your company. A competition that lasts all day and a trophy someone in this city holds for a year.
Reveal 03 - Something small, fast and brightFor the runners who are not tall enough for the big loop yet. It has a name. We like it a lot.
Reveal 04 - The dateOne day. Sunrise to sunset. Subscribers hear it first, with a window to register before anyone else.
