  The 47th Annual Jack Gamble Melon Run, a July 4th Gainesville tradition!

  It's the best July 4th tradition in Gainesville... The 47th Annual Jack Gamble Melon Run! 

  This three-mile run hosted by the Florida Track Club is as much a part of the Fourth of July as BBQ and Fireworks. Enjoy the rolling hills on this course, where age-group winners receive a watermelon! Age groupings for awards are in 10-year increments. Refreshments (most likely more watermelon) will be served to all runners after the race.

  We'll also host a 1/2 mile run for the kids. We willl also have a watermelon eating contest! After the running is complete, stick around to see the crowning of the King and Queen of the race, and also who is the fastest watermelon eater.

Price increases for the no tank-top registration after June 19th and increases again after June 27th. If you do not attend, race tanks will not be held.
