Same day results will be posted on TrackShack.com.

Race Walkers

All paid entrants receive a commemorative T-shirt, specially designed each year, and a young tree. T-shirt sizes are not guaranteed on the day of the race.

Course- View Course Map - coming soon
Run for the Trees 5k run/walk is a unique point to point event. The last mile is on the tree-canopied, wilderness dirt road of Genius Drive. This privately owned glimpse of old Florida is opened to the public only once a year, for this event. Shuttle buses will be provided to take the participants back to Showalter Field.

Kids' Run
Free to all children. Distances will range from 100 yards to one mile and children will be placed in age appropriate groups. Registration is available on race day at the race site. Ribbons to all finishers.

Beneficiary
Funds raised from the event will support the Winter Park Tree Replacement Fund. The City of Winter Park has historically been known for the canopies of vintage trees that line its picturesque streets and neighborhoods. Unfortunately, almost one-third of the city’s tree canopy was either damaged or destroyed during the hurricanes of 2004. Tree replacement is also needed continually as trees reach the end of their natural life span.

Restrictions
For safety reasons, baby joggers/strollers, in-line skates, skateboards, and animals will not be allowed in the race. Certified service animals are welcome. Earphones are strongly discouraged.
