Lake to Lake 10k

The Lake to Lake race by the Lakeland Runners Club is the oldest in Polk County, promoting community running and fitness. Organized on a USATF-certified course, it circles the Lakeland chain of lakes and historic Lake Morton district. Welcoming all skill levels, there's a minimum pace requirement. The event is chip-timed, supported by the Denis L Fontaine Foundation, with proceeds benefiting the YMCA of Central Florida. Safety guidelines note that dogs, bicycles, and headphones are prohibited. Weather conditions are closely monitored, with race adjustments made for participant safety. Founded in 1977, this established event continues to champion grassroots running.
