Hi Runners,

This Saturday, December 14th, we will start the long run at 6:30 a.m. in front of the UF Performing Arts Center to run the OLD Five Points of Life half marathon route.  It is 13 miles long.   You can come back on 34th Street for less than 8 miles, or come back on 13th Street for 10.5 miles. This route is mostly roadside and sidewalk and includes hills on the "Bacon Strip" (16th Avenue) and other landmarks we missed on the new course!  This should be the whole marathon route:  https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/175181764  There are water stops every 2 to 3 miles, about 3 have bathrooms.     https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/987371473

We will text for breakfast after the run.  

Winter race time is here:  Also Saturday there is Santa Paws 5k (1 loop) and 10K (2 loops) at Westside Park, benefiting the Humane Society.  FTC Frank Shorter Mile and Mustache Run Kids Race is New Year's Day.  FTC  Mary Andrews Marathon, half, and 4 person marathon relay  is Sunday, January 19th, 2025, same day as some of us will be doing Jekyll Island marathon, half, or 10K.  Saturday, January 25th is Newnan's Lake 15K. 

Be careful, run safely, watch out for all this holiday traffic!

Ho Ho Ho Run Happy,
