Hi Runners,

Saturday is Christmas Eve! and very cold prediction. So we are changing time - this Saturday, December 24th, we will start the long run at Hunters Crossing at 9:00 a.m.! to run the route to Westside Park and Alfred Ring. This route is 12 miles long, but we can tell you when to loop back for shorter distances. This route has paved trail, roadside, some sidewalk, some hills, dirt trail thru Alfred Ring if you want, and water stops every 2 to 3 miles. But you may feel safer if you bring your own drink and social distance yourself as needed. Hunter's Crossing Publix is at the corner of NW 43rd Street and NW 53rd Avenue/Millhopper Road. We park in the parking lot to the right of Publix behind the bank in front of Subway. http://www.mapmyrun.com/us/alachua-fl/hunters-crossing-to-alfred-ring-park-route-427568

I believe UF changed their security features? It looks like last week's emails to UF addresses went directly to junk mail, and someone tried to email me back and it wouldn't go through to me. So, if you know of anyone using their UF email address only, please check if they got this. Maybe they need to mark me as safe again.

Frank Shorter Mile is Sunday, January 1st at Westside Park

FTC marathon and half marathon is Sunday, January 15th, starts in Hawthorne and will be on Hawthorne trail, has a 4 person relay too, capped at 150 runners so register soon on runsignup.com
