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
