Watermelon Series 5K #1

28th Summer Sunrise Watermelon Series 5K #1

This morning we sent out a huge group to compete in the first race of Lakeland’s well known Watermelon 5K race series! The race is one lap around the beautiful Lake Hollingsworth and like usual the conditions were hot and humid. Since the end of the half marathon/marathon race season this last winter/spring, we’re now having our runners focus on the shorter distances, especially while it’s so hot during the summer. The Watermelon races have always been a good checkpoint for our runners looking to build fitness and be ready for the longer stuff in the fall/winter. I’m proud of how everyone ran this morning. It was not the best setup to run fast but our squad got it done. Huge congrats for their strong efforts!
