Join us on April 3rd for the Hunger Run 5K, a community-focused event with a purpose that goes far beyond the finish line. This race brings together runners, walkers, families, and supporters for an inspiring evening along Lake Minneola — all to fight hunger in our own backyard. Every registration, every cheer, and every step helps raise awareness and funds for the River Clermont Food Distribution, a ministry that serves families and individuals facing food insecurity in the greater Clermont area. Your participation fuels real, lasting impact — providing food, hope, and dignity to neighbors in need. Together, we’re strengthening our community and making hunger less common and hope more abundant.

Kick off the new year in the best way possible—active, social, and fun! 🎉

The AdventHealth Elevate 5K Corporate Challenge presented by Integrity Roofing is Lake County’s largest office party on the run and the first of its kind—an active networking event designed to bring together businesses, co-workers, friends, families, and community members for a team-building race experience.

Participants will take on a scenic course featuring a mix of open, flat roads and peaceful stretches of the South Lake Trail along the shoreline of Lake Minneola. Blending energy and tranquility, the route offers a beautiful and memorable experience for runners and walkers of all levels.

Bring your office, team, family, or friends and join the fun in this inaugural 5K challenge! You can form a work team, social group or participate solo—everyone is welcome.

There are two ways to register:

1. Company Registration (with reserved Corporate Village Space): Perfect for company groups that want a designated meeting area before and after the race.

2. Family/Friends/ Business Registration (no reserved space): Join the fun as part of the community without a designated area.

The celebration continues after the finish line at Victory Pointe Park on Lake Minneola—there’s no better backdrop! Stick around to:

• Explore the FitnessPalooza Expo, featuring the latest gear, health innovations, and fitness trends to kickstart your Spring 🏋️‍♀️

• Test products from Brooks, Hoka, On, Saucony, Topo, Injinji, and Feetures and enjoy interactive experiences with lots of opportunities to win one-of-a-kind raffle prizes 🎁

• Relax and connect at the lively Beer Garden 🍻

• Enjoy food, games, and post-race activities with your team and the community

• Participants can demo shoes, connect with brand experts, and even win free pairs and $100 baskets through raffles happening throughout the morning. It’s the kind of expo experience runners and wellness enthusiasts have been missing — brought right here to Lake County. And 100% of proceeds from any additional raffle tickets purchased will benefit the Neighborhood Center of South Lake. It’s a chance to prioritize your health (and chances to win!) while giving back locally.

The AdventHealth Elevate 5K is your opportunity to start the year strong, get active, network, and celebrate in a one-of-a-kind atmosphere.

Hands of Hope America invites you to join us for our 2nd Annual fundraiser, Run for Hope, Walk for Change 5K on May 2, 2026 at Lake Louisa State Park. This year, our focus is on strengthening and impacting the Four Corners community by addressing critical needs such as mental health awareness, food insecurity, homelessness, and the urgent need for improved resources and services. This event is more than a fundraiser—it is a movement toward creating sustainable change, hope, and support for individuals and families in need.

The race will begin promptly at 7:30 AM, and park entry will open at 6:00 AM. Participants are encouraged to arrive early to allow time for parking, packet pickup, and warm-up before the race begins. When entering the park, please follow event signage. Race parking will be located to the right on the grass area, and the 5K start and finish line will be directly to the left of parking area, race-day packet pickup, and participant sign-in.

Participants are encouraged to pick up their race packets in advance to help make race morning smoother. Packet pickup will take place at the Community Foundation of South Lake, located at 2150 Oakley Seaver Dr, Clermont, FL 34711. Early packet pickup will be available Thursday, April 23 from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM and Friday, April 24 from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. If you are unable to attend early packet pickup, packets will also be available on race morning beginning at 6:00 AM near the start/finish line.

Please note that the race registration fee does not include park admission. Lake Louisa State Park charges $5 per vehicle, which allows entry for up to eight people per vehicle. Additionally, children under 12 years old may participate in the race for free.

The 5K course is entirely on paved road within the park, featuring slight rolling hills and no sand sections, making it suitable for both runners and walkers of all levels.

Thank you for supporting the mission of Hands of Hope America. Your participation helps support programs that provide food assistance, youth empowerment, mental health services, and community outreach initiatives serving families across Polk, Lake, Osceola, and Orange Counties.
