For health enthusiasts, Lake County and its surrounding areas host a variety of events throughout the year. These include one mile walks, running races (5K, 10K, & marathons) to triathlons and ironmans. Whatever level you compete at, there is an event for you.

If your pleasure is to enjoy nature and exercise in a non-competitive atmosphere, Florida’s rails and trails is for you. There are numerous hiking and biking trails throughout Lake County.

These range from the very simple to the more challenging hills like Sugar Loaf Mountain in Astatula.

For additional information, the National Training Center in Clermont is only 30 minutes away, Mount Dora hosts the yearly bicycle event every October, and Lake Sumter Community College sponsors several 5K and 10K races annually.

Contact Lake Harris Lodge and let us help you with accommodations and find the best trails or events to make your experience the finest Lake County has to offer.
