Description

Join us on the beautiful downtown Bradenton Riverwalk to run or walk the 5K (3.1 miles) course. The 5K will take runners and walkers across the Green Bridge and back to finish along the Bradenton Riverwalk.  All proceeds from this event will be contributed to the LECOM Student Scholarship Fund, helping to defray the educational costs of our future healthcare providers from LECOM.

LECOM encourages an active lifestyle and what better way than to get our community together for a celebration of health and fitness and participate in a 5K run/walk event.

The 5K race will start promptly at 8:30 am (please note: the 5K is walker-friendly). Runners and walkers can help themselves to a post-race breakfast provided by our wonderful sponsors while they cool down and wait for the announcement of the winners of each division.  As you cross the finish line you will be immersed in the events of the Bradenton Area River Regatta.  

There will be LECOM volunteers spread throughout the course to direct participants along with a water station at the 1.5-mile mark.
