This Saturday we run beautiful Davis Islands. While the official run starts at 7 a.m., at this time of year, many will start at 6 or before. Comment in the chat to see who else is starting early.
If you've never had the pleasure of running at this destination, you're in for a treat. We start at the marina. Plenty of parking and restroom there. Then, we head out along the waterfront, all the way out to the tip of the farthest island at Davis Island Yacht Club.
While this is a club run, we always welcome guests to try out a few runs before joining. Just DM me, Debbie Voiles, for a Visitor Waiver or I'll have them with me, Saturday.
The 'islands' are really a group of islands connected by bridges, but we stay on one island for this run. You may see cruise ships passing by, and you will definitely see crew teams. Occasionally, we see manatees and dolphins, and we always see lots of runners.
We'll have a water stop at the 2-mile point, which you'll pass again on the way back at mile 4. The whole course is 6 miles, but it's super easy to make a loop around the islands to give you 9 miles. Carry water for that.
Restrooms also at the 3-mile point at Peter O. Knight Airport, a small airport on the waterfront.
Breakfast/coffee after at DI Coffee, within easy walking distance. #runtampadirun
