Beaches Events 2010
February 8th, 2010 | 
Author: We are all wanting to get ready for Spring. And in the Beaches Area that is no exception. The City of Jacksonville Beaches has posted their Schedule of Events for 2010. You can view them at their website: http://www.jacksonvillebeach.org/DocumentView.aspx?DID=422 This is a Printable Document for you to use to mark your family calendar with the up and coming events that you can participate and enjoy. Two notable events coming up for the Month of February include The Winter Beach Run on Valentine’s Day and the other is the Breast Cancer Run with Donna on February 21st. The Donna Run is a major event to benefit Breast Cancer Research. The run has it’s own website at: http://www.breastcancermarathon.com/ and is open to all comers. We have no idea what the weather is actually going to be like so be prepared for anything if you participate, watch and cheer or volunteer. If you are in the area you might want to avoid San Pablo Road between Beach Boulevard and JTB as well as 1st Street at the Beaches on that Day. The race will start and end at Mayo Clinic. There will be thousands of people there and is an area to be avoided unless you are participating in the event.
