About the Rise & Trot
The course starts at the Lake Nona Performance Club and runs through the Lake Nona area on Thanksgiving morning. It is flat enough that families walk it alongside people chasing a personal best, and the age group awards go deep into the youth divisions, so younger runners have real categories to race in. Music and community vendors are set up at the venue.
