The April 14th Winter Haven Hospital Foundation Citrus Classic 5k run/walk attracted over 700 fitness enthusiasts and LEGO® fans to LEGOLAND® Florida for an early morning run. It was the first ever run held inside LEGOLAND Florida.
Participants started in the parking lot then dashed into and around the park. The course took them through every zone including the historic Cypress Gardens, Miniland USA and then back to The Beginning for the finish line.
The winner of each age division took home a lovely medal, but the winners of four overall classes were eligible to take home a trophy too. Trophy winners were:
- Female Overall Winner Emily Nabong with a time of 20:30
- Male Overall Winner Jonathan Hulzebos with a time of 17:02
- Female Masters Winner Rhonda Fosser with a time of 22:35
- Male Masters Winner Kevin Johnson with a time of 19:32
We'd like to congratulate all the runners for showing such great spirit during the run and a big thank you to the volunteers who made the event possible. All proceeds from the event went to benefit the Winter Haven Hospital Foundation which provides philanthropic support to Winter Haven Hospital, the Regency Center for Women & Infants, and many other non-profit organizations in the community.
