Florida > Timberlake Half Marathon & 5K
Fort Walton
Beach, FL
Date
Saturday, November 21, 2009
Event
Details
Organized by the Northwest Florida Track Club, an athletic association
for running and fitness enthusiasts in the Fort Walton Beach, Destin
and Niceville areas, the Timberlake Half Marathon & 5K offers
an out-and-back run through the expansive wooded areas of Florida's
Eglin Air Force Base, along a course that combines flat stretches with
a long, gradual uphill on the way out and a long, gradual downhill on
the way back to the finish line. Run on paved roads through the air
force base, the route features an overall climb in elevation of about
164 feet to the half-way point turnaround, and an equivalent drop on
the way back.
Runners start the race near the intersection of Ranger Camp Road and
Lewis Turner Boulevard, and then head out on the course heading north
on paved roads through the base. Past participants report that the race
has an informal and friendly atmosphere, with both volunteers and
fellow runners cheering all participants on. Just over 100 runners
crossed the finish line at the race's 2008 running, and the event
begins at 8:00 AM.
