About the Memorial Day 5K/10K/15K - Lakeland
The course runs around Lake Hollingsworth, starting and finishing at Thomas B. Mack Park on the water's edge. Shorter distance runners circle the lake once; longer distances add more laps, so you get familiar with the route as the morning goes on. The surroundings are open and lakeside throughout, with no significant elevation to speak of.
Packet pickup is available the evening before at a local Dunkin' on Bartow Road, with race-morning pickup opening at the park about an hour before the start. Water stations are spaced out along the route, though runners who don't want to slow down may want to carry their own hydration. Active and retired military run complimentary with a valid ID at bib pickup.

The Memorial Day 5K/10K/15K - Lakeland has been held every year since at least 2025. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
