Florida > DeLeon Springs Half Marathon & 5K
DeLeon Springs, FL

Date

Sunday, January 3, 2010



Event Details

One of Florida's smaller road race events that takes runners across what past participants describe as a "pancake flat" course through the state's rural Ocala National Forest countryside, the DeLeon Springs Half Marathon & 5K marks its 26th annual running in the winter of 2010, when it is expected to welcome around a hundred runners or so for the 13.1-mile event. This out-and-back race starts and finishes at Chuck Lennon Park and is considered an excellent choice for runners looking to set personal record times, thanks to its flat course and usually perfect running weather conditions, as it typically enjoys temperatures in the low 70s on the day of the race.

The race's organizers add that finisher's medals will be presented to every runner who crosses the finish line, as well as long-sleeve race shirts for all entrants who sign up to receive them (see the race fee information below). Organizers also add that after the race, many participants take in the local fare like that at the Olde Spanish Sugar Mill at the nearby DeLeon Springs State Park, just north of Spring Garden Lake.


Race Weather & Climate

Located in central Florida, about an hour's drive north from Orlando and just a few miles east of the Ocala National Forest, the town of DeLeon Springs typically experiences mild winter seasons and warm to often hot summer seasons, with plenty of rainfall year-round (but usually much heavier rainfall in the summer months). In January, the area's average monthly temperatures range between 70°F and 44°F, while rainfall totals average around 3.35 inches for the month.
