MIDFLORIDA Summer Sunrise Watermelon Series July

Lake Hollingsworth is the focus: a flat road loop that is "conducive to fast" running. This is the 31st Summer Sunrise Watermelon Series July race, part of a simple summer set where the joke is also the warning: "each race hotter than the last." Expect a straightforward road effort rather than a complicated course, with the lake keeping the route easy to read and hard to blame. The field looks like a solid local turnout, roughly 500 to 1,000 runners, so there should be enough company to pull you along without turning it into a crush.
