CONTENTS The Jacksonville Event Running Guide is published four times a year by the 1st Place Sports Running Club. The purpose of this guide is to give you the latest information on training and upcoming events, and to keep you updated on the running s ce n e. This magazine can be a substitute for entry forms, so please use the forms in this book to register for any of the listed races.

You can reach over 20,000 runners, wa l ke r s , and cyclists by advertising in this publication.

If you are entering 1st Place Sports races, you can get more information about upcoming events and results from our past races on the internet at www.1 st p l a ce s p o r t s .co m . P l e a s e save this m a g a z i n e for packet pickup information and day-of-race i n s t r u c t i o n s . S o m e o f t h e l a rg e r races will send you a confirmation of entry, but most of the time you should just pick up your packet as indicated on the race ad.

The Jacksonville Running Event Guide is mailed to runners who have participated in one of our events in the last quarter. It is free! All we ask is that you let us know when you have a change of address.

We wish everyone could receive a free Guide each quarter, but costs prohibit it. If you have run a race in the last quarter, we will mail you a Running Guide for the next quarter. If you do not get one and would like to receive one, you can pick up a copy at one of the 1st Place Sports running store locations.

NEW IN STORES! Come check out the newest products in our 1st Place Sports Stores!

Hoka One One Shoes:

Stinson EVO Tarmac: $170

Bondi B: $160

Hoka One One is the brainchild of two gravity sports enthusiasts, Jean-Luc Diard and Nicolas Mermoud. Both men have been adventuring for as long as they can remember, and their trail running experiences have taken them across the globe.

Because fatigue, impact and muscle strain were challenges that all runners deal with every day, a shoe was designed to help to alleviate these problems — so that freedom and enjoyment could be guaranteed every time you go running! With each and every step your foot takes flight. Today, runners from around the world are having fun and benefiting from Hoka One One running shoes. They are worn by athletes running all distances from 5Ks to half-marathons as well as ultra distances from 50 mile, 100 mile and even 2000+ miles.

Altra, The One: $100 The One from Altra is a lightweight zero drop running shoe. The One is fully cushioned and features a breathable mesh upper. It has never been easier or more fun to learn the optimal way to run. The One makes running fun again by putting your feet in the optimal position with the zero drop sole and oh so easy to lift off with a superlight 7.3oz construction.

PowerIce, Ten Pack: $12.99 PowerICE is targeted to both athletes with an active lifestyle and to anyone looking for a great-tasting, healthy snack alternative. It cools and rehydrates the body after strenuous activities, as well as replaces sodium and potassium electrolytes in a sensible and incremental intake versus other sports drinks. It is fortified with Vitamin C and contains only 30 calories per serving. The product is sweetened with natural sugar and does not contain any high fructose corn syrup or caffeine.

New Nike Free Run 5.0: $100 (Available 3/28/13) Nike Frees are different than traditional athletic shoes. They’re designed to let your feet move more freely and naturally, which means your muscles will be doing a bit more work than demanded of them in some other athletic shoes.

Nike encourages you to get used to them gradually for a safer, more effective and more enjoyable experience.

Swiftwick Socks, Sustain Zero: $11.99

Currex Insoles: $45

The SUSTAIN Zero has energy efficiency stitched in to every last fiber. The only sock on the market created from post-industrial recycled nylon, the SUSTAIN Line is Swiftwick's finest tribute to their commitment to the planet and the earth-conscious athlete in us all.

The award winning currexSole RUNPRO is the ultimate performance insole for running, walking or triathlon.

Wear it in classic running shoes or let ‘em help you to step forward into minimalistic shoes.
