Salute to Steve Prefontaine 5K and Mile
The Gulf Winds Track Club stages a 5K and a 1 Mile event at J.R. Alford Greenway in Tallahassee. The courses use the new single track mountain bike trails and pass through long-leaf pine forest and natural scenery.
Distances:
- 1 Mile
- 5K
The 5K course begins with a downhill section and reaches single-track about 0.25 miles in, offering nearly 2 miles of twisting and turning trail. The final mile includes two separate steep 400 m hills. The 1 Mile follows a loop that includes a portion of single track.
The event pays tribute to Steve Prefontaine, who at the time of his death held American records from the 2000 m to the 10000 m, and acknowledges the tradition of fans visiting Pre's Trail and Pre's Rock. A post-race awards gathering includes a Steve Prefontaine dress alike contest.
Registration is offered for each race with published opening and closing dates and entry fees for the mile and the 5K. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
