From the Organizer
The ROAR FLORIDA 5K is a chip-timed road race held at the Sun ‘n Fun Expo Campus at Lakeland Linder International Airport in Lakeland, Florida.
This course offers a unique race environment, taking runners through the active grounds of one of the largest aviation expos in the United States. Participants will run through the heart of the Sun ‘n Fun campus, surrounded by aircraft displays, aviation infrastructure, and open runway and tarmac sections.
This is also a color run, so come ready to stand out. Wear your most colorful outfit, get creative, and expect bursts of color along the course. Whether you’re racing for time or running for the experience, this is your chance to bring the energy and make the course as vibrant as the mission behind it.
The course is flat and fast, making it suitable for competitive runners seeking a strong 5K time, while remaining accessible for walkers and recreational participants.
