About the event

The Clay races are BACK!  We are excited to race on 5 Mile Road out and back for the first time this year.  You will get to see your friends on the course as you tackle the clay and hills while also enjoying the beautiful scenery of the area.  

Get ready for your winter half marathons and marathons or challenge yourself with the 15k or 5k distance.  New this year, we are timing the 5k!

The event owner is South Lake Multisport Events, Inc a nonprofit created in order to raise awareness and money for endurance sports in south Lake County. Because of your love and support for the Clay Trail, we did it! The developers, land owners and county have listened.  Wellness Way will have trails - paved and soft- for us to enjoy long into the future. Thanks to the volunteer efforts of everyone involved, we’ve raised nearly $105,000 year to date to put towards endurance venues in South Lake County.
