Details
Set for its first-ever running in the fall of 2009, Key Largo's Jewfish
Creek Bridge Run will feature both a 13.1-mile half marathon and a 5K
race for runners and walkers, along a course over the area's newly
re-constructed Jewfish Creek Bridge, a one-and-a-half-mile stretch of
bridge that crosses over the area known as Florida's Gateway to the
Keys.
Runners will start the race by lining up for the event's shuttle buses
at the Holiday Inn on Largo Road, and then will be transported to the
starting line. Organizers describe the climb and descent over the
Jewfish Creek Bridge as "challenging," but add that the race course
will also feature plenty of flat stretches through the Florida
Everglades, where runners will be treated to the natural beauty of
south Florida's wetlands and marshes.
Those running in the half marathon will start their race first, at 6:30
AM, followed by those running and walking in the 5K. Most of the course
takes runners over the area's historic 18-mile Stretch, which connects
Key Largo with nearby Florida City.
