About the AdventHealth Clermont Clay 15K & 5K
The course runs out and back on a clay road, so you pass oncoming runners the whole way. It is hilly and unpaved, the kind of surface that changes with the weather, and the hills come at you more than once on the longer distance. Runners describe it as a genuine workout, not a casual jog.
Packet pickup the afternoon before is at a running shop in Clermont, and race-morning pickup opens early at the start line and closes before the gun. Parking directions have moved from previous years, so the map the organizers send out race week is worth a look before you leave home.

The AdventHealth Clermont Clay 15K & 5K has been held every year since at least 2015. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
