This Old Runner Writes

 

Run All the Miles. Eat All the Food.

8/28/2017

 

Does Running Make You Hungry?

​If you're like me, then you're hungry after you run.

​Okay, okay, I admit sometimes I'm hungry before and during the run, too!

Well, there's no reason to run hungry with the line up of races offered this September around Tampa Bay.


I've compiled a list of some delicious options below. You'll find new races and returning favorites. Enjoy!
​

5 September Races with Food Themes + a Bonus
