Joanna Jordan, the regional director of the southeast, said this is an exciting day for Jacksonville.
“Almost every single walk of life you can kind of expect to see and we’ll have some international athletes that are maybe racing in North America for the first time, and a lot of newcomers, and it’s been incredible to see the changes Jacksonville has undergone,†Jordan said.
Sunrise yoga begins at 7:30 a.m. and the athlete briefing begins at 11 a.m.
