Hit the Trails 5k Friday August 20 Fishhawk Fl
This is a fun trail race that is put on by Hit the Trails running store. You start by running out and back for a mile on a hilly open area between houes/stores and the woods. The turnaround is up a big hill. After the out/back mile you proceed into the trails for the next mile and 1/4 with finishing last portion back in the open small hills area. Ran again with my son and ran 27:28. This is a low budget, no frills, no shirts, and awards just to top overall finishers event that is put on very well. Water on the course and Chicken wings at the finish-yeah! Could not do in 2011 because of schedule, but would do again.
All Out Run Saturday August 28 Lutz Fl
This event will get a decent review for 2010, but was cancelled because of weather with extra water at Lake Park in 2011 and never rescheduled with no email/information for refund or rescheduling. Will not do again for that fact alone. Race was build as a trail race with a little water to run through. Water at the 2 mile mark turned out to be over knee deep for me and waist deep for my son and the other XC runners from his school. This was dirty lake runoff water that we had to go through. Hamstring strain happened 2 days later and blame it on the extra leg lifting to try and run through water. I have no problem with the newer races and all the mud and water to run through, but you should at least let people know what to expect. Race was otherwise well structured and after food was great. T shirt. Received one of my first medals. bu tas stated all that has been tarnished by the 2011 event or non event.
