SAVE $10 When You #RunSarasota in OctoberOne of my favorite half marathons is moving to October this year. It's the First Watch Sarasota Half Marathon and Relay in Sarasota, Florida. This event has a special place in my running heart. It's a beautiful course that takes you up and over the challenging John Ringling Causeway Bridge, around St. Armands Circle, and through some beautiful old neighborhoods with giant shade trees and Sarasota Bay views. The race begins and ends at Van Wezel Hall — a fun waterfront venue on the bay. Keep reading to learn more about the race and get my $10 Discount Code! Check Out the Race Course
 Next, runners race 4 miles through neighborhoods and on Bayshore Blvd. before returning to Tamiami Trail and the finish line at Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall. The finish line leads to the post race party on the bay. (Photo credit: FW Sarasota Half)  First Watch Sarasota Half Marathon & Relay Course. There's a 10K race, too. (Photo credit: FW Sarasota Half) Why I Like the New Race DateFlorida's racing season is different than other parts of the country. Around here you can find 3-4 races every weekend in March. In the past, it meant you had to choose one race over another, or run two races on the same weekend. Sure, there were times I ran a couple of races one weekend. And, I've run a half marathons two weeks in a row. But, I like it much better when I can spread them out. It makes each event special and allows plenty of time for recovery. Now, First Watch Sarasota Half & Relay are at the start of race season in October. I can run the half without FOMO on other races. Plus, it's a great motivator to train through the summer and kick off the Fall racing season with a bang. October Temps in FloridaIf you've never been to Florida in October — come on down. While it's getting cold up North, we're still enjoying sunny beach days. October is a great time of year here. Humidity can be low or high, so I can't predict that. But, I did look up the predicted temps for October 2019:  Expect warm days and cool nights in Florida during October. That means the Gulf water temp and beaches will be perfect.

They make some of the best breakfasts around. On race day make sure you get a yogurt parfait, and hot pancakes. They're delicious after running 13.1 miles.  Yep, that's a band on stage in the background. Post race there are drinks and breakfast foods to refuel all the runners after their races. Relax, eat, and enjoy the view.
