FTC Hill Workout
NW 16th Avenue near NW 34th Street
Yes, we have a few hills in Gainesville! A group of FTC members meets each
Tuesday evening at Westside Park for a hill training session (the time varies
depending on the season). It's a 4.1-mile loop which starts at the parking lot of
the park at the corner of NW 34th Street and NW 8th Avenue. From there run east on
the long 8th Avenue stretch and up the 8th Ave hill. Turn left at the 2nd traffic
light (18th St). Enjoy the big downhill just after the turn and then continue through
the neighborhood. Make another left onto NW 16th Avenue. There are a couple
significant hills along 16th. Another left onto NW 34th Street brings you back to
Westside Park.
Note: This route includes part of the Melon Run course and part of the Dog Days course.
