Key Largo Bridge Run
Key Largo, Florida
Saturday, November 10, 2012

I race walked the half marathon in the Key Largo Bridge Run in Key Largo, Florida on Saturday, November 10, 2012. The temperature ranged from 66 to 72 with overcast skies and a wind of about 10 mph. The course was out and back with the first two miles as well as the last two miles featuring an ascent and decent of the Key Largo Bridge on US1. The rest of the course was flat. The course utilized the north bound lane of US1 and was completely closed to traffic. Except at the start/finish line there were no spectators because spectators had no access to the course elsewhere. Water/Gatorade stations were located approximately every 1.5 miles and were manned by plenty of enthusiastic volunteers. In addition to the 185 finishers half marathon there were 125 finishers in the 10k and 437 finishers in the 5K. I was very impressed by the timing company, Accuchip Timing, as they had the results posted on their website and my finisher’s certificate ready to be printed by the time I reached home at 1:30 PM that afternoon. The event was very well organized and fun to do.
