The Experience
This Tallahassee event, part of a series, presents a straightforward out-and-back course designed for runners seeking a low-key race day. The 13.1-mile race, along with 5K and 10K options, utilizes a trail path, offering a softer surface underfoot.
While the "Ninja" theme appears on the finisher medal, one runner noted that the costume aspect didn't fully materialize on race day, contributing to a feel more akin to a running club meetup. The course time limit is set at 3 hours and 30 minutes, accommodating a wide range of paces.
Participants can expect a no-frills experience, with chip timing and awards available. The event is managed by US Road Running, known for its series of races across various locations.
