This 5k was in the early morning on 4th of July in Winter Park, Florida. The town and little festival that was attached to it were so quaint and wonderful. This race seemed very local in the crowds and vendors. It gave it a sense of homeliness especially with it being on a very Americana holiday.

The packet pickup was smooth and easy at the helpful local shop and management company Track Shack. The aid stations were numerous for a 5k with very lively volunteers to help you run through the humidity. The route sees little to no elevation change but covers gorgeous house and park after gorgeous house and park.

The watermelon Queen was there to kick off the race and you can see our experience first hand here: https://youtu.be/zQ3ZmenhQZw . I'd highly recommend this race for anyone in town during it.
