Events in Our Part of the World March 1- May 31

March 16 is a big day for athletes in this part of the state. Not only do we have four of the runs that are common year round, we also have the option of a bike ride in Wayne and Appling Counties and a tennis tournament in Hazlehurst. After that, triathlon season really gets going starting in May. One of the benefits of living this far south is that open water swims are pretty comfortable before summer even officially arrives.
