Nene Fest 5K and Fun Run

Race one of Tallahassee's classic courses—with a twist!

The Nenes of Indianhead Acres have hosted the Women's Distance Festival every September since 1998 on a certified course familiar to many local runners. In 2014, the Nene Fest 5k began to use the same course in the spring.

For the Nene Fest 5K, the course is used for a 2-way race. Runners can choose to tackle the course counterclockwise (the traditional WDF direction) or clockwise.
