ADVENTURE LIKE NO OTHER! Experience nature and wildlife in this exciting 30K, Half Marathon, 8 Mile, and 5K trail run that meanders along Lake Apopka's shoreline! Lake Apopka is located 15 miles (24 km) northwest of Orlando. It is the third-largest lake in the state of Florida. The north shore of Lake Apopka is a haven for bird-watching, wildlife photographers, and nature lovers of all ages. The Lake Apopka Loop Trail follows the lake’s edge through the property, covering more than 20 miles and providing hiking and biking opportunities. The Loop Trail is expected to circumnavigate Lake Apopka in the future but is currently an out-and-back trail traversing the northern half of the lake. There are four trailheads for the Loop Trail with restrooms at the Green Mountain, North Shore/McDonald Canal boat ramp, and Magnolia Park trailheads and port-a-lets at the historic pump house. All events start and finish at Magnolia Park in Apopka. Participants will run along the Lake Apopka Loop Trail on the Lake Apopka Northshore, where birds, alligators, and other wildlife call home. The trail is mostly hard-packed limestone with scattered areas of grass, dirt, and gravel. To keep our wildlife friends safe this will be a cupless event. All athletes will need to have a water pack or handheld water bottle with them for this event. 30K Trail Run: 18.6 mile out and back course.
