Team Shackleton

Adventure Racing Team

Off-Road Half-Marathon

This event was promoted by Adventurous Concepts and took place on Sunday, December 2nd. 

The run took place on the trails of Bellview in Santos, FL which is just a little south of Ocala.  It is part of the Florida Greenway.  The weather was beautiful.  Perfect for a long run.

Racers had the option of the 1/2 Marathon, the Full Marathon, or the Ultra-Marathon which is 50 miles.  We considered this more of an organized training run than anything else so we opted not to completely kill ourselves.

Team Shackleton stuck together through the whole course until we got to the last watering hole with 1.75 miles left.  At that point we agreed to go at whatever pace we could handle.  Below are the finishing times for the team:
Kier - 2:07:35
Julie - 2:07:37  (3rd place in her division)
Rafael - 2:09:54
Walt - 2:11:30
