Small 5k to benefit the high schooll football team. It is a out and back through the surrounding neighborhood. Were multiple ups/downs and being in May was very warm. You started at the elementary school and was suppose to do loops around the parking lot before going out on the road and then when returning do multiple loops again. The runners up front did not do this so everyone followed. This made it very confusing. Mile markers and water halfway. Cotton t shirts. Finshed in 24:10 but I think it was short in distance becuase of doing/not doing the loops so I do not consider this a 5k in distance. In 2011 they moved the date up so it was not so hot and I heard the distance was more accurate also. Would consider doing again..
Secret Service 5k Saturday May 22 Tampa Fl
Another good one that I would have done again in 2011 but schedule did not allow. You start in front of the Hockey arena. Allot of day of sign ups made it a little chaoitic at the start, but did start on time. You start on run out to Bayshore for a down and back. Mostly all flat except for the one short bridge you cross going and coming. Weather was a little warm, but the course made up for it by running next to the water. Great views. Mile markers and water at halfway. Being my first real (5k) race on my own I did not know what to expect. Wanted to finish under 25 and made it easily by finishing in 24:07. Should have pushed to get under 24, but had nothing left. Reshfreshments and after party was on the concourse of the hockey arena which made it nice also. Even used the arena bar/grill restrooms which is so much better than portalets. Had some stuff for the kids to play on and the Presidnetal limo. Nice tech shirts. 760 runners. Would do again.
