Gate River Run

Each year there is a race called the Gate River Run that goes through Jacksonville, Florida. The run is a 15K run. It is also possible to join in a 5K and a Diaper Dash Run. The 15K is always set for a day in March. The top 25 women begin at 8:25am, with the remainder of participants slated five minutes later.

The run goes from Gator Bowl Boulevard near the Stadium and Metropolitan Park. There are always facilities onsite for guests and runners. All runners need to be on site at 8am to begin the Gate River Run. They also added in a walker's starting line for 2011. This line allows those who want to walk to begin at Adams Street near Memorial Wall. Runners are given a timing chip to help keep track of their time while they are on a run.

In 2011 it will be the 34th annual 15K Gate River Run. It has been a huge deal for the city and top runners from around the US. Those who have participated are proud to do so and there is a hall of fame for the top runners. They also have a list of race times, ages, and previous winners.
