Start 2022 with an almost guaranteed 5k personal best at AdventHealth’s Florida’s Fastest 5k race presented by Kroger on Saturday, January 22nd.
This point-to-point USATF certified distance course at Lake Louisa State Park provides participants with a smooth paved route with only one turn and an 80-foot net elevation loss from start to finish – meaning runners/walkers have their best chance to hit their personal best on this “fast” course. Last year, over 50% of participants had a PR (personal best). You don’t need to be fast to participate. but the net loss in elevation from start to finish will make you faster.
A cash prize will be awarded to any male or female who breaks the current 5k course record (male 13:54 and female 19:22).
Awards from LiveTrends will be provided for the following categories: Top 3 Overall, 1st place Masters (40+) 1st place Grand Masters (50+), Top 3 in each 5-year age group 14 & under, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75+ in Male and Female.
