Here are a few 5K races that you can look forward to running:

Polo grounds: This year is was Oct. 6th
Sumter Landing: I believe it's the second week in January
Polo grounds: Was in April this year.

I've run the polo field a couple of times so I can give you an idea of what to expect: There is a service road that circles the 2 adjacent polo fields and it's probably not a coincidence that it's almost exactly 1 mile. So, we run 3 laps and then finish next to the grandstands. No traffic, no hills and a little shade so you should enjoy it. Oh, if you like a little competition, The Villages Charter School cross country team took part this year so you can focus your training on beating them.(The Villages Cheerleaders will be there to give you a little encouragement)

Haven't run the Sumter Landing race but I'm sure that it's 1st class like everything else the Recreation Dept. does.

That's about it - see you at the starting line
