About the Orange Blossom 5K

The 5K run/walk starts and finishes at Frostproof Middle-Senior High School in Frostproof, Florida, on the Saturday of race weekend. It covers hard-packed red clay roads on the Lake Wales Ridge, gently rolling through active and former citrus groves. Most of the course is clay road, which makes it a softer surface than a typical road 5K.
