Get ready to stumble through the streets of San Marco on a chilly winter evening as thousands of folks lace up for the 29th Annual Festival of Lights 5K. It's a delightful mix of shivering and spirited competitiveness, perfect for everyone from seasoned runners to those who just want to waddle their way through a 1-mile fun run. Bring the whole gang because if you can walk or armchair cheer, you're invited.
Now, while you're sweating (or maybe just sweating the small stuff), your participation will actually help children in need through the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals program. The funds go to support UF Health Jacksonville and Wolfson Children's Hospital, where the real champions are making a difference. So, put on those festive running shoes and join the fun—it's all for a good cause, and who knows, you might just burn off that holiday cookie or two.
