One bicyclist killed during an intense three-day adventure-racing event
As participants in the “Sea-to-Sea” Expedition Race, the promoter tells Historic City News reporters that the
intense three-day adventure-racing event involves sufficient risk to require execution of an injury waiver before the athletes can compete.
At about 2:34 a.m. Sunday morning, February 28, 2021, Florida Highway Patrol Crash Investigator, Trooper Kevis Coley, responded along the event route to the scene of an accident involving a motorist-vs-bicyclist.
The race started in Pine Island Park in Spring Hill on Florida’s west coast and finished in St. Augustine. In Sea-to-Sea, participants navigate roads and waterways, with the help of kayaks and bicycles, as part of the extreme adventure sport. Participants raced in teams and had 72-hours to complete the race and get as many points as possible by hitting checkpoints along the way.
