2026 FlRunners Invitational (Race of Champions)- Girls 1st, Boys 4th + 13 Girls Medalists (Top 30) + 4 Boys Medalists (Top 30)!

Congrats to our Tavares girls for winning the FlRunners Race of Champions after a tremendous performance showcasing the depth of the squad.

Literally 100% of our runners ran faster today! Keep in mind we WON the Jim Ryun race and ran very well so these times and improvements by our kids show how hard they have worked!

4th Annual Red Sea Tube & Tent on the Ichetucknee!

After our Saturday morning race in Lake City, many of our awesome families met at Moonshine Acres RV in Fort White for a team event...tubing down the Ichetucknee River!

Over 40 our runners, parents and siblings spent the afternoon floating down the crystal clear river, swimming and hanging out.

Back at the campground, the kids played outside games, ate burgers, hot dogs, and chilled in the rec room while the parents socialized and watched football. It was a fun day for the team and we thank all the families who came out and participated!

While we raced here at All-Tech Raceway a couple years ago, this race was rebranded as the RunFlorida XC Invitational.

A lot of Tavares kids populated the top 10 as Meadow, Alizeah, and Hannah went 4-5-6 and Brynlee, Tinzleigh, and Anaisa went 9-10-11.

Our Red Sea boys were even more dominant scoring 2-3-4-5-6 with Joel as runner-up followed by Alexis, Alejandro, Elijah, and Dustin with Jordan and Max placing 9th and 11th.

Tavares girls scored a perfect score of 15, defeating the 7 team field by over 50 points. Red Sea boys scored only 17 points winning by over 40.
