Hiking Movies Events and More

This free event looks super fun. They will have plants for sale, BBQ from Looseys (there will be vegetarian options per Facebook), and of course First Magnitude brews. If we are up to it, we could even go on a walk afterwards around Depot Park or on the Gainesville Hawthorne Trail.

The planetarium is located on the Santa Fe College campus - Building X-129. This the is 50th Anniversary of this album and it is one of my favorites. Each song has a different visual theme in the show. You will need to purchase your $12 ticket (plus a small fee) in advance from the website but it is general admission. https://www.sfcollege.edu/events.html#event-details/5c857fea-9540-47c0-8a6c-e556f49c797c/instances/2026-03-14T01:00
If anyone is interested, we could go have a drink somewhere nearby afterwards.

There is a 5k and a 10k race (and a 1 mile fun run if that's more your speed). I personally run/walk it and I'm doing the 10k. I will have my dog, Ruby, with me. State Park entrance fee may be waived for participants but I'm not 100% sure about that. You can sign up for the race here: https://runsignup.com/Race/FL/Gainesville/2016TrailofPayne10k
It is rare for a race to be 100% on trails so this one is more enjoyable than most (in my opinion).
We can stop for lunch afterwards if anyone is interested.
