I'm all signed up!! I did this last year and although it was extremely difficult for me, I loved it! I have signed up in the last waive 8:00 pm under the lights. Let me know if anyone else is signing up. This is very well organized and fun. The price goes up after tomorrow to $35!

    It is a 5K in and around Everbank Field. It starts outside runs around the outside and the practice field and then takes you inside. You run up and down all six levels of the stadium and come out onto the field. It's pretty cool because at night the lights come on and the jumbotrons are on with commercials and things from the Jags. It's extremely well organized and challenging, as you can see. You can run or walk. Last year it benefit the Duval County Schools sports programs. I am not sure what it is for this year. I just really like the workout and it's something different. You get a medal and a t-shirt.

    ETA? You mean what time will I get there??? LOL...I will probably be there between 6:00 and 7:00. They have some fun stuff going on. Last year my company sponsored quite a bit of it...so it was fun to walk around and see what was out there for give aways and such. Myself, my niece, a friend from work, and I think jpaw will be with me...you may certainly join.

    I thought about it, but I didn't know anyone else, so I didn't sign up! I kind of wanted to get an idea of what my time is now in a 5k run...even with bridges!

    Depending on how this bridge run goes I may sign up for the stadium one.

    The stadium challenge is a very organized, very different type of run. I enjoyed it so much! It was my daughter's first ever 5k last year...she is still trying to get into running and doesn't really care for it. But she really liked this run.
