About the Pelican Energy Run for Hope
The course runs through Fontainebleau State Park, a wooded setting that gives the route a natural, shaded feel. The race has a Halloween theme, so expect costumes and some festive atmosphere alongside the trees. It benefits a local child advocacy organization, which draws a lot of families to the start line.
Post-race, there is beer from a local brewery, lunch from a sponsor, and refreshments, plus vendors set up on site. Check-in opens race morning, so no need to arrive the night before.

The Pelican Energy Run for Hope has been held every year since at least 2024. 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 Oct 25, 2026.
