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.

Save the Date!
This is our 4th annual run to help raise money for the Polk County Bully Project. We are a non profit dog shelter that provides freedom rides to dogs throughout Polk County. During the month of August we were able to find 40 new homes for dogs who would have otherwise been put down or lived their life in cages. Our goal is to have Polk County stop euthanasia by 2025.
