The Lakeland Regional Health Hollis Cancer Center Promise Run celebrates 10 years in 2024, and we’ve got an exclusive discount code for Lakeland Mom readers through February 25. This is a great family activity that also supports an important cause in our community.
The Promise Run is inspired by people who believe that a community can come together to conquer cancer. It’s a celebration of the lives of loved ones touched by cancer and a Promise to strengthen the health of everyone around us.
If you’ve been looking for a 5k near you, this is a great one! Participants run or walk picturesque 5k and 10k courses that begin and end at the Lake Mirror Promenade in Lakeland. Runners and walkers will enjoy beautiful views of Downtown Lakeland, Lake Mirror, and Lake Morton, as well as Lake Hollingsworth on the 10k. A FREE Kids Run follows the completion of the 5k.
Funds raised by the Promise Run go directly to support the Hollis Cancer Center which serves families right here in Lakeland.
