Saturday UF to Hawthorne Trail

[dvmi...@windstream.net]

Hi Runners,

This Saturday, May 3rd, we will start our long run at 6:30 a.m. to run a variation of the SECOND HALF of the old 5 Points Marathon route.  We start in front of the Performing Arts Center at UF and run over the 13th Street pedestrian bridge, go straight to Depot Park, we can get drink there, then to Boulware Springs which now does not have drink, so out Hawthorne trail to the water fountain there, DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THAT ONE HAS DRINK NOW?  (If not, I guess we will modify as we go)  then turn and come back to check for unicorns, again stopping at Depot park for drink.   It's 11 or 12 miles, so turn around if you want to shorten. 

Breakfast Club -  we will text when finish so anyone can join! 

But the night before:  FTC event:  Get your Summer started off fast with the FTC Summer Track Meet! There will be multiple events, including a Donut Mile this Friday, May 2nd at Fred Cone Park 6:00 p.m.  2821 E University Avenue Gainesville, FL US 32641  Register at runsignup.com  ON-LINE REGISTRATION CLOSES AT NOON 5/2/25.  YOU CAN REGISTER AT THE TRACK (Starting at 5:45 pm) IF YOU MISS THE NOON DEADLINE

Races: Fernandina Beach Shrimp Festival 5k, Saturday, May 3rd, the festival is great and so was last year's tie-dyed T shirt!  

Looking ahead, last year some of us did the Spring Lake Memorial Classic in Brooksville the Saturday before Memorial Day.  May 24th, fun hard hilly run!  The 10K is called the Lake Neff Monster, the 5K is Florida's Toughest 5K, and the 2 mile is The Perfect Stroll.  Register on runsignup.com 

We had a super super great time at the Spud Run, quite a few collecting awards with Jess doing 1st place female overall!  And wow, we had such delicious food!  Join us next year!

Happy Spring Run Happy,

Diane

I found this interesting article about a Gainesville running club that I'd never heard about before! 😱

Just forwarding the info if anyone you know might be interested.
