Event Details

We’re having a party! 2022 marks 50 years of the Lakeland Runners Club bringing the running community together, and we are kicking off a year of celebration with a running festival. There will be music, food, and fun – whether you are a kid or a kid at heart!

One of the greatest things about the sport of running is that athletes of every ability can participate together in the same event, but it’s rare to see everyone during the entire race, so we’re shaking things up a bit and holding our running festival at the George Jenkins High School track.

Friends and family are invited to attend – come learn more about the LRC, enjoy the camaraderie of the day, and cheer in the stands.

Let’s get #SweatyforScholarships

Proceeds from the Summer Sunrise Watermelon Series goes towards scholarships for Polk County graduates administered through the Polk Education Foundation. The Lakeland Runners Club has contributed to the PEF since 2012 – the list of scholarship recipients is available on the LRC website.

The Summer Sunrise Watermelon Race Series was born out of a desire to have low-cost local races during the hot summer months when it can be hard to stay motivated. The series has become an established venue for competition and an annual celebration of fitness. It continues to be popular with both experienced and casual runners alike. Many of the local high school cross country teams use it as a tune-up for their season. The series is comprised of three 5K (3.1 mile) races, each race hotter than the last. All are run around Lake Hollingsworth, which is flat and conducive to fast times.

The Summer Watermelon 5k is run on a certified course. All races are chip timed. Cumulative results from the three races are used to determine official results.

The first series was run in 1996.
