March 3, 2019: It was a very pink morning at a very green venue for the 12th edition of the Donna 5k at The PLAYERS, on Saturday, March 2, at the famed TPC Sawgrass course in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. With the move to March from May of The PLAYERS Championship in 2019, so too came a rescheduled date of the charity 5k hosted by The Donna Foundation in its ongoing initiative to provide awareness and assistance to those affected by breast cancer. Over the past years, the 5k course has changed somewhat, with different start and finish points near the TPC Sawgrass Clubhouse or behind the 17th Tee area. The course takes participants (run or walk) through the back nine of the spectacular course, past Holes 10 and 11, around several food court sites set up for the tournament, around the 16th Tee and along the fairway, past the renowned 17th Tee and Green, before heading to the cartpath next to the 9th fairway and green, and then making the turn home toward the magnificant clubhouse and the dual finish/start line. For those who watch the tournament on TV, broadcast doesn't capture all of the hills and elevation nuances, and the 5k course tracked those as well (in other words, there's quite a bit of hilly terrain here!).

Heads up, this is a "reverse order" "double-breasted" post, so to speak, so pay attention:
As you know from prior posts and photos, I'm into the Breast Cancer Pink movement, and I love doing the "pink" events. So, let's add drinking some special beer from our friends at Engine 15 Brewing Co. this time around, too. I think I'm up for that....
E15 has teamed up with Donna Deegan and 26.2 With Donna to tap a unique evening in the fight against breast cancer.
