Hunger Run 5K at the Waterfront

Hunger Run 5K at the Waterfront takes place in Clermont, Florida, on November 20, 2026, with a single 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 4:30 PM. This scenic evening run follows the shores of Lake Minneola, and it's held to benefit River Clermont Food Distribution, which works against food insecurity in the Clermont area. The 5K is open to participants aged 14 to 100.

An evening race by the lake is a good excuse to run for a cause without the early alarm. If you're treating it as a social run, keep the pace conversational and enjoy the waterfront; if you're racing, eat a light lunch, snack in the mid-afternoon, and warm up for ten to fifteen minutes before the 4:30 PM start so your legs are ready. Preparation is straightforward at this distance: three to four weeks of running three times a week gets a beginner to the finish, and regular runners can use it as a sharp effort after a fall of steady mileage. The minimum age of 14 makes it a good one for teenagers running with their parents.
