Start 2021 with an almost guaranteed 5k personal best at Florida’s Fastest 5k race presented by Sports Medicine Institute on Saturday, January 23rd. This point-to-point USATF certified distance course at Lake Louisa State Park provides participants with a smooth paved route with only one turn and an 80-foot net elevation loss from start to finishing – meaning runners/walkers have their best chance to hit their personal best on this “fast” course. Last year, over 50% of participants had a PR (personal best).
Continuing to adhere to current social distancing guidelines, this chip-timed race will have a wave start so runners will be at least 6 feet apart at the beginning of the race. A virtual race is also available for those who choose to run at home. Awards from LiveTrends will be provided for the following categories: Top 3 Overall, 1st place Masters (40+) 1st place Grand Masters (50+), Top 3 in each 5-year age group 14 & under, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75+ in Male and Female. Top Male Team, Female.
All participants will receive a race t-shirt, post-race food and a custom medal. Registration is available at www.FloridasFastest5k.com thru January 22.
A portion of proceeds and all donations will benefit the not-for-profit Friends of Lake Louisa. We would like to also thank our sponsors Sports Medicine Institute, Visit Lake County, Tailwind, OakWood Smokehouse & Grill, and LiveTrends.

FloDash Events is the dream venture of Kevin & Kimberly Grogan, Amalie Skorman, and Brian Boylan. Individually the four founders have miles and miles of races and combined 100 years of racing and accomplishments in endurance sports. Separately they have been producing high-quality races for a few years, so they came together with their knowledge and love of the endurance community to become FloDash Events.
