Continue past the Boathouse, then the Historic Village and the S bend just before the big fishing pier. The turnaround point is about ¼ mile further along the trail close to the next wooden pier. Retrace your steps to the finish. <br/><br/> The course is 5000m (5k) long. This has been accurately measured by us with a professional measuring wheel. The course is at (begins and ends) the trail just outside Lake Hiawatha Preserve, 450 N. Lake Minneola Shores, Clermont, FL 34711. The course is run entirely on paved paths. Some sections of the course may accumulate mud, leaves and puddles after rain. Dependent on availability, marshals will be at key sections of the course, or signs will be in place.<br/><br/>Please remember that the parkrun uses shared paths.
