Conquer four races in 24 hours! All races will be chip timed. Cumulative results from the four races are used to determine official results.  All courses are on pavement or sidewalk and are generally flat. The two-mile course does reward participants with a tough little hill near the finish. The first 5k is around Lake Hollingsworth. The one-mile race is around Lake Morton. The two-mile race is around Lake Hunter. The final 5k repeats the course around Lake Hollingsworth. Can you run the Saturday 5K faster than you did the Friday 5K?

There is a post-race party and awards ceremony at the Lake Mirror Center.  8:15 PM – 10:00 PM

The Aching Quad Four Race Challenge was established in 2006.

The 10k is the oldest annual race in Polk County and runs through the Lakeland chain of lakes and historic Lake Morton district, encompassing three lakes during the course. The Lake to Lake 10k is run on a certified course (FL19044TY).  The race will be chip timed.

The Lake to Lake 10k was founded in 1977.

A portion of the proceeds from the Lake to Lake 10k will benefit the YMCA of West Central Florida.

The Mean & Green 5 Mile Trail Race will be held on the grass and dirt trails at Holloway Park, a private park in the middle of Lakeland. This event will be low-key and environmentally friendly. We’re going retro with no finisher medals, and awards for male and female overall, masters and grandmasters only. You’ll need to bring your own bottle or cup for to refill during and after the race.  With your help, we can host an event with minimal trash going to the landfill. For your effort, you’ll receive a banana and a 50/50 blend long sleeve unisex T.

This event expands the LRC lineup of races to include trail running and will be held during Florida’s cool season. The race will be chip timed. The Mean & Green 5 Mile Trail Race supports Holloway Park and cross country running in Polk County.
