Please join us on Saturday, February 24, 2024, for our 37^th annual race at Wekiwa Springs State Park. The race is unique in that it is the only one in the region held entirely within a state park and almost all on off road trails through the woods. All proceeds from the race go to the Wekiva Wilderness Trust, the volunteer nonprofit organization, which supports the work of the Wekiva River Basin State Parks. All runners get a medal, commemorative t-shirt and there are prizes for the winners in each age group and for the overall winners in the 5K and 10 K races. There will also be a lucky draw at the end of the race for two $100 Travel Country Outfitters gift certificates. We are honored that WESH TV news anchor Jim Payne will once again be our VIP Race Marshall.

Please save the dates for next year’s 18^th Annual Wekiva Paint Out – March 4 - 9, 2024.

This week-long event features some of the nation’s finest plein air artists who will spend the week painting in and around Wekiwa Springs State Parks and Wekiva Island. All the paintings will be display in our gallery at Wekiva Island and available for purchase. All profits go to Keep Seminole Beautiful and the Wekiva Wilderness Trust, both nonprofit, volunteer organizations dedicated to protecting our state parks and its wildlife and keeping our lands and waterways clean.

There are a number of events  during the week including the Wednesday night live auction, quick draw and Saturday Night Gala.
