McGillivray

Race Director Dave McGillivray sent the group of about 30 people off shortly after 6 a.m.

“Running from a setting like this into downtown makes for a more iconic course,” McGillivray said.

McGillivray usually runs the course at night after the race is over.

Davidoff has confirmed McGillivray’s account, but said he did not witness the incident.

Mindy McGillivray, 43, still lives a 10-minute drive from Mar-a-Lago.
