Relaxing with LizRunning and runners
You can spot the clueless runners, they are running in the middle of the day. To escape the heat locals run in the early morning or after sun set.
The most popular local place for a run is the beach sidewalk. Even if you don’t run then at least get out and walk or watch. In the morning, even before dawn, there will be runners on the side walk, all shapes and sizes.
There are mile markers but you will miss them. Basically it’s 2.5 miles from the South Parking entrance by the kiosk to the top of the beach. 5 miles round trip.
Remember to drink. I use the showers on the beach, it’s drinking water.
Just south of Las Olas is a road called 'Hall of Fame'. The Swimming complex called 'Swimming Hall of Fame’, the Zoo health club and St Barts Coffee shop make this THE corner for active locals. On Saturdays take and early breakfast at St Barts and watch the show go by. St Barts is athlete friendly, free water cooler by the door. Casual place where you will be warmly greeted, even when hot and dripping after running. They don't mind if you come in with wearing Rollerblades or wearing a thong.
By the south parking lot, there is a new exercise course with stations, bars and such.
For race info check the Greater Fort Lauderdale Road Runners site. All local running races are listed on there. If you can do on of the club races, or River Walk Run all the better. RiverWalk 5 Mile is an interesting down town neighborhood tour.
Thursday Social run from George English Park on Sunrise 6:30, out and back. On sunday endurance in Dearfied, Track Wednesdays etc,,,
RunningWild - A running store with race apps and running info, close to the beach. From the beach go inland on Sunrise Blvd for ½ mile, then turn north on US1 (Federal Highway) and on the west side just past the IHOP.
