Organiser's Description
The Clay races are BACK! We are excited to race on 5 Mile Road out and back for the second time this year! You will get to see your friends on the course as you tackle the clay and hills while also enjoying the beautiful scenery of the area.
Get ready for your winter half marathons and marathons or challenge yourself with the 15k or 5k distance. New this year, we are timing the 5k!
The event owner is South Lake Multisport Events, Inc a nonprofit created in order to raise awareness and money for endurance sports in south Lake County. Because of your love and support for the Clay Trail, we did it! The developers, land owners and county have listened. Wellness Way will have trails - paved and soft- for us to enjoy long into the future. And we are working with the county to have a designated parking area off of Hancock and 5 Mile Road. Thanks to the volunteer efforts of everyone involved, weve raised nearly $105,000 year to date to put towards endurance venues in South Lake County.
Donations from this October Clay event will be going towards a fundraiser started by the local triathlon team, SLAP. Swim Like A Pro is raising $4,000 to install a very needed water fountain at Lake Louisa State Park. The fountain will be place by the bathrooms located at the Lake Louisa beach area. Lake Louisa State Park has become a locals' favorite training ground for cycling, road and trail running. Having a water fountain there would make hydrating while exercising more accessible. Thank you SLAP for doing this!!
