Run Nona 5k Recap

Over 10 years, the 5K at Lake Nona has grown to be a fun, inclusive celebration held in the heart of Florida’s healthiest community!  Saturday’s Run Nona 5K was planned as an epic night for running, walking and enjoying a block party with food trucks and live music. 

“The evening rain soaked us all and yet 315 kids ran the Nemours Kids’ Run and 1088 hearty souls finished the 5k,” said Race Director Jon Hughes, co-owner of Track Shack Events. “Clearly the rain did not dampen the spirits of the runners, walkers and supporters of Run Nona!”

Largest team accolades go to the Nemours Children’s Health System who had more than 100 runners and walkers participating.  As the Team Challenge Winner, a $250 donation will be made to the Nemours Children’s Hospital.
Overall champions beat the rain and all finishers with fast times.  Male champion Fredison Costa, of Orlando, ran 15:44 and female champion Krista Roehlig, of Oviedo, ran 18:31.
