LH Training Run #2

DUE TO THE CRESTING OF THE WITHACOOCHEE RIVER, COLT CREEK STATE PARK HAS SUFFERED FROM EXTREME FLOODING. AT THIS TIME, WE DO NOT KNOW IF THIS EVENT WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE PLACE. WE ARE IN CLOSE COMMUNICATION WITH THE PARK STAFF AND WILL OPEN REGISTRATION IF THE WATER RECEDES.

Event Start

You do not have to be registered for the race to participate in the training run. The course will be well-marked and we will provide a few water stops. Run a loop (16.8 miles) or more!
Reminder: There is a $3 per person or $4 per vehicle fee to enter Colt Creek State Park.

The training run will start at the Middle Lake Day Use pavilion. This is NOT the S/F for the race - it is Parking Area A. The first wave of runners will start at 8:30 am sharp. You may start anytime, but 8:30 will be the official kick-off of the training run. There are bathrooms there and we will also have water jugs available. There is also ample parking here.

Directions to start:
Once you go through the guard's gate take the first right (just a few feet past the gate) and go through the small parking lot and down the shell road.

On Course Aid

There will be water at the run start: miles 0 and 16.8 (Parking Area A), at the group camp hub: miles 4 and 9 (Parking Area B), and at the hard right at about miles 13, and 15.5. (On the way to and from AS2 during the race) All of these will be unstaffed stations, with water only. Do you want food and electrolytes? Bring them! Plan to leave your drop bags/coolers in your vehicle. Since the park is open to the public, you will probably want to keep everything secure.

Event's current local time: 5:27 PM ET
