November 28, 2021 Janette Largent

Although much of Jacksonville is urban, this sprawling northeastern Florida city also has nature and wildlife preserves, historic residential neighborhoods and lots of golf courses. Attractions in Jax, as the locals call it, range from art, science and history museums to a brewery tour, from the Jacksonville Landing entertainment complex, along the St. John's River, to Bronson Motor Speedway. The city's beaches offer soft sand and warm water perfect for swimming, surfing and kayaking.

The 15k Gate run was my first time running a race in 30 years... It was a really great experience. I apprehended it since it was my first race. People were incredibly nice, registration was super easy. The course was interesting even though the weather was fairly cold and windy. They had live bands and water station every mile. It was very lively. They kept it low key and fun. The last bridge is quiet an experience: tough climb with strong headwind, then just cruising down to the finish line. I ended up running under 11’ mile average which is way better than I expected. Overall very thankful for this well run event during Covid times.
