  Call the Jacksonville Beach Lifeguard station to try to reserve one of these, they only have a few. This sweet lady, Shelly, called because after she registered, she broke her leg. She wanted to cross the finish line and receive her pendant. We told her all she had to do was cross the finish line. Did she have any friends that could carry her? We told her about this “buggy” and it looks like she found the right gentleman to help her receive her pendant.  Good times!
