2024 Shark Balls 5k

 




Unfortunately, when the beaches you're staying at suffers 3 shark attacks in 90 minutes, the beach is closed. Walton County takes it so seriously you're not allowed in even water up to your pinkie toe without a $500 fine. I was there when they medevacked the first woman out on Hwy 395. This also led to an impromptu 5k (3.3 miles) along Hwy 30-A this morning before it got too hot, but the humidity was still roughly 80%. The path East had few to no other competitors and the hairpin turn was shortly beyond Eastern Lake. But as you can see above, the finish libations were enjoyable but not crushable.
