Spring to Life 5K & 10K

Saturday, March 13, 2027 Lake Louisa State Park | Clermont, Florida

Race Into Spring at Lake Louisa State Park for this annual event since 2020!! Welcome to the Spring to Life 5K & 10K, returning for another year inside one of Central Florida’s most beautiful state parks.

Both distances are held entirely on paved park roads with no vehicle traffic during the race, giving runners and walkers the opportunity to experience Lake Louisa State Park in a way few visitors get to enjoy.

Choose the 5K or challenge yourself with the 10K, featuring approximately 200 feet of elevation gain. Both courses offer rolling terrain, beautiful natural scenery and a start and finish in the heart of the park.

This event has sold out in previous years and participation is limited by the park, so early registration is encouraged.
