The fourth annual Cake by the Lake event offers participants a choice between a 5K run and a one-mile cakewalk. Both courses begin and end at Liberty Park, providing scenic views of the Tsala Apopka chain of lakes. After completing the race, participants are treated to finisher medals, music, festivities, and, of course, delicious cake and ice cream. Awards are presented to top finishers in various age categories, and unique cake plate awards are given to the top three in each five-year age group for the 5K. Registration fees vary by age group, with discounts for younger participants. Notably, the event does not include T-shirts but offers memorable race swag.
