Organiser's Description
This year's Donut Dash 5K will take place in beautiful and historic Downtown Winter Garden. Run or walk through the timeless neighborhoods and down by Lake Apopka!
OK, so where else can you not feel guilty about eating as many donuts as you want!?!!

Additionally the PAL provides a Holiday Gifts for Kids Program which supplies holiday gifts and meal vouchers to approximately 400 local in-need children who would most likely go without during the holiday season.

Anyone who eats 12 or more donuts will receive an additional bonus of 1 minute per donut (over 12) taken off their final run time.
Donut zones will be located at the 1 mile mark, 2 mile mark, and 3 mile mark of the course. All donuts must be finished in the donut zones.
