Saturday, March 8th, 2025
Join us for the second annual Spring to Life 5k and 10k, held in one of Florida’s most stunning State Parks. This event offers the perfect blend of challenge and beauty, making it a must-do for runners and walkers alike.
All participants will receive a chip-timed bib, a race shirt, a finisher's medal, and a post-race snack and beverage. All runners and walkers on the course MUST BE REGISTERED. Anyone running without a bib is subjecting themselves to a misdemeanor and putting the race in jeopardy. If you want to pace a child, spouse, or friend, you MUST register as well. BANDIT AND PACING RULES
Friday, March 7th from 2 PM - 6 PM at Dash Sports, 741 W Montrose St Clermont, FL 34711. You may pick up race bibs for a friend but you must have their QR code and correct spelling of their name. This will avoid all spelling errors and the possibility of you picking up the wrong packet. PACKETS NOT PICKED UP BY RACE MORNING WILL NOT BE HELD. Race day registration and packet pickup will be at Lake Louisa State Park down by the parking area from 6:00 AM - 7:00 AM.
The amazing awards provided by Live Trends Design Group will be announced starting at 8:30 AM with the 5k (maybe sooner) followed by the 10k. Male and Female: Top 3 Overall, 1st place Masters (40+), 1st place Grand Masters (50+), Top 3 in each 10-year age group 9 & under up to 70+. Results can be checked online at the end of the event. Awards must be picked up during the ceremony and will not be held post-race.
Living Art Continues: The awards from LiveTrends Design Group aren't just any awards: they are living art pieces that add a whole new layer of sophistication to our recognition moments. Each piece, a testament to the seamless blend of nature and design.
Create a group with your friends, make it an office party or drag your family for some friendly competition. Teams of 4 or more will receive $5 off each participant. Upon creating the team, the first 3 registrants will pay full price, once the team minimum of 4 members has been reached, the previous 3 registrations will receive an automatic $5 refund. All registrations to the same team after that will already reflect the $5 discount. Team discount cannot be combined with any other offer. Teams with a minimum of 15 members can set up a tent at the finish line with prior approval from the Race Director.
As you enter the park volunteers will be directing participants to our designated parking area. The park gates will be opened at 5 AM. Please keep in mind the race parking and staging area has changed from previous years: you will not be taking a shuttle to the start. Parking is now close to the start and finish line.
We will also send an email closer to the event to ask you to purchase the Lake Louisa Park Pass of $5 per vehicle. If you have an annual Florida park pass you will not need to buy an additional park pass but you must have it on you upon entering the park. Carpooling is highly recommended.
There will be no dogs, skateboards, inline skates, or bicycles allowed to race in this event. If you are a wheelchair participant please contact the race director. If you must have a stroller we just ask that you please line up at the back of the pack. Dogs are NOT allowed on course. If you have a service dog please contact the race director ahead of time at flodashevents@gmail.com. Participants with dogs will be asked to leave the course.
All donations made from the race will benefit the not-for-profit Friends of Lake Louisa State Park. They rely on members, volunteers, and donations to fulfill its mission to enhance the park and actively engage community support. They use community-based activities, fundraising events and outreach efforts to raise funds and to increase awareness in the community about our precious Florida Native Habitat and Park amenities available to the community.
If you are unable to make it, you may log in to your Run Signup.com account and transfer to a different event. The only cost will be the difference between the race for which you signed up and the current price of the race you now want to do, plus the transaction fee.
