About the Honoring the Fallen 5K

The course follows a trail along the lake, heading out and doubling back to Suncreek Brewery in downtown Clermont. It is flat enough that the only thing between you and the finish is the turnaround. The race honors law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty, and that purpose is felt from the pre-race ceremony through the finish.

Packet pickup happens the two evenings before the race at a local sports shop on Montrose Street in downtown, with parking accessible from the alley behind the building. Race-morning pickup is also available at Suncreek Brewery before the start. After the race, there are post-race snacks and complimentary draft beer at the brewery for those of legal age.

Common Questions About the Honoring the Fallen 5K

Will I finish last at the Honoring the Fallen 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 40:26, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:17:13, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Honoring the Fallen 5K a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 544 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Honoring the Fallen 5K?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 18:01 while the median finisher took 40:26. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
