JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Saturday’s Gate River Run has got a full field.

The last time the event sold out came in the pandemic-capped race in 2021. Entries were limited to 8,000 that year due to safety precautions. WJXT will broadcast the race on Saturday, both at News4JAX.com, News4JAX+ and through the News4JAX app.
