The Summer Sunrise Watermelon Race Series was born out of a desire to have low-cost local races during the hot summer months, when it can be hard to stay motivated. Now in its 13th year, the series has become an established venue for competition and an annual celebration of fitness. It continues to be popular with both experienced and casual runners alike. Many of the local high school cross country teams use it as a tune up for their season. The series is comprised of four 5K (3.1 mile) races. All four are run around Lake Hollingsworth, which is flat and conducive to fast times.

Entry Fees: $15 for the series, $5 for individual races. Only those who finish all four races will be eligible for the series awards, to be presented following the fourth race on August 16. Checks should be made payable to the Lakeland Runners Club Inc.. Mail entries to Summer Sunrise Watermelon Race Series, P.O. Box 1484, Lakeland, FL 33802.
