The West Volusia Runners are pleased to announce the second annual Central Florida Legends Skunk Ape Marathon, Mermaid Half-Marathon and Fountain of Youth 5K returns to Lake Monroe on Nov. 22. Over 1,000 runners participated in these races last fall which is designed to highlight the natural beauty of West Volusia and the Volusia County trails system. Registration is going on now at CentralFloridaLegendsRace.com <http://CentralFloridaLegendsRace.com> Packet pickup for the runners will be at Central 28 in DeBary, on Friday, Nov. 20 and the Lakeshore Community Center in Deltona on Saturday, Nov. 21. Social distancing measures will be in place for the races and runners are asked to wear masks before and after their respective races. Eventually, the West Volusia Runners hope to take the full marathon all the way around the lake utilizing mostly trails. The City of Deltona’s Economic Development Office believes this event is a great edition to West Volusia’s eco-tourism calendar.
