About the 13th Annual Lakeland Regional Promise Run
The course winds through downtown Lakeland along the historic streets that ring the city's scenic lakes. It is a certified course, and the terrain is consistent with what you'd expect from a flat lakeside promenade area, with open views of the water for much of the route. A kids' run follows after the main races wrap up.
Packet pickup runs on the two days before the race and on race morning at the start area near Lake Mirror Promenade. For pre-race pickup, the location is the Carol Jenkins Barnett Pavilion on Lakeland Hills Boulevard. A couple of nearby parking garages are free on weekends, and the one closest to the start and finish is on Iowa Street.
