Beach Run

YAY!! It’s that time of year again to run with cool ocean breezes and finish up with coffee, bagels, and your fellow members. We will be having our annual beach run on Saturday, February 11th at 530 am (the weekend before the A1A Half). We will leave from The Cove Shopping Center in Deerfield Beach. The course goes to Spanish River Park in Boca Raton and back to The Cove (10 miles round trip). You can turn around at any time. Coolers will be available at Palmetto and A1A and there are bathrooms available at the golf course about a mile up from there. NOTE: If you decide to run out west that weekend, coolers will not be available so please plan your hydration accordingly.
