I highly recommend that anyone interested in 5K events try a Sommer Sports 5K. Stephanie, Michelle, and the rest of the Sommer Sports team organized a fantastic 5K at Ichetucknee Springs State Park on March 16th. It was the first 5K Ichetucknee Springs had in years and they set a stellar example. They ensured the running route was properly marked and well lit (they placed lights on the darker areas of the trail - the race started at 7:00 AM when it was still decently dark) and placed staff at several parts of the route to ensure competitors were going the right direction. Staff also provided competitors with water to grab on the go.

Overall, the event was so well organized and their team was so engaged. Once you cross the finish line, they announce your name and offer drinks and snacks to you - they also give additional awards to those who placed in the top 3 of their age category (competitors automatically receive a t-shirt and medal once they complete the race). On the back of your runner tag, there is a QR code you can scan after the race to see your results too! I will definitely be running in a Sommer...

Girlzonfire22 Duathlon All comments are specifically about the duathlon portion of this event. START: A race email assigned wave starting positions. There were no waves set up and this change was never communicated. Furthermore, the race was started by someone calling out without a mic. He was drowned out by the triathlon announcer who was using a mic and had turned up the music "loud enough so the swimmers in the lake can hear it." TIMING: Reusable timing straps were grossly inaccurate and an entire section was missing. MARKING: First leg of duathlon had no clear directional sign. No staff positioned on the bike route at multiple different stop signs to assure safe passage. Large stretches of the bike route were unmarked. MEDAL: No mention of the duathlon is on the medal or lanyard. BeInspiring is misspelled on the lanyard.

Overlooked and sloppy are the best words to describe the duathlon. The focus is definitely the triathlon and 5K. Despite submitting correct times, as directed, as of this review the times are still...

Great.place to experience a good foot race and enjoy great comrade among running buddies!

I just completed the Blueberry 5K. It was a real challenge running thru this beautiful farm. However, it was worthy at the end we got a pancake breakfast, and fresh and sweet blueberries.

I can’t believe I won the Frontier voucher raffle. Thanks Sommer Sports. Definitely my favorite...
