We are happy to offer RaceJoy again this year.  For those running in Key West with us, you can use RaceJoy to enhance the experience with some audio alerts and cheers as well as the ability to have your friends and family monitor your progress and send you support as you run.  Just download the free app and follow the instructions and when you start your run, hit “Start My Race” and have fun!

If you aren’t able to be in Key West but have signed up for the virtual version of our event, you can still use RaceJoy.  You can run anywhere at any time over the weekend with the app.   If you prefer to just run without RaceJoy, that is fine too.  You can run whenever and wherever you want and post your results online when you are done:

KEY WEST HALF MARATHON T-SHIRT REVEALED!

Meet the Artist:

Taylor Hale is a native Floridian who draws inspiration from a lifetime on the water in his island hometown of Key Largo, Florida. He earned a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2009.

Taylor is driven by the constant transformations of the sky and sea—exploring what happens as these powerful natural forces interact. Within his work, he captures movement and stillness, familiarity and the unknown, peace and unrest. In each oil painting, he seeks to create a window to connect to another world.

He loves meeting other cloud lovers and has found that an admiration for the ever-changing sky is something that can connect people from all walks of life. He invites his viewers to bring their unique perspectives to each piece and explore where the art takes them!

When he’s not painting, he enjoys spending time in nature, seeing live music, and being with his wife and daughters.

In 2023 Taylor looks forward to opening The Hale Gallery in Islamorada!
