Motel Info: |
The new host hotel is the Holiday Inn Express Palatka at 3813 Reid St., Palatka, FL 32177, (386) 325-2500. This is a new motel and they are giving us a rate of $70/night. The best thing about it is that it is only 13 miles from the start/finish. Mention Iron Horse Endurance Races when you call in. If there are any problems with the rate then e-mail me at crodatz@bellsouth.net. The other motels in the Palatka area are either more expensive or not as convenient to the start. There are numerous restaurants within 2 miles of the motel and there is a Walmart for last minute supplies on Hwy 19.

Race Briefing: |
The race briefing will be held Friday night at 6 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Express and last no more than 1 hour. |
