Strawberry Distance Challenge - Plant City, FL

Strawberry Distance Challenge - Plant City, FL is held at the Walden Lake Polo Fields in Plant City, Florida, on February 13, 2027. Three distances start together at 7:30 AM: a 10K (6.2 miles), a 5K (3.1 miles) and a one-mile run, so competitive racing and a casual outing share the same morning. Every finisher receives a medal, a shirt and refreshments, strawberries and bananas included.

Since the 10K and the 5K go off at the same time, the choice comes down to the training behind you. The 5K rewards short, sharp sessions and a willingness to be uncomfortable for twenty minutes; the 10K wants one longer run of five to six miles each week for a month or two first, and a more patient opening mile. The one-mile option gives the rest of the family something to run, with an early start that leaves the day open.
