About this run
Join us this October for the 2026 Lake Scary 5K! This is a monstrous opportunity to run, walk, or roll for a great cause. 100% of the proceeds raised are donated to UCP of Central Florida’s Lake Mary Campus to assist in funding therapy services and support programs. We have witnessed first-hand how children at UCP unlock their potential academically and emotionally, in an environment where differences are embraced. This exciting Halloween-themed race features a t-shirt for all runners and a spooky finisher medal. Runners are encouraged to come in costume, individually or in coordinated teams. There will be prizes for are best dressed runners. The Lake Scary 5K for Cerebral Palsy, founded and organized by students at Lake Mary Prep, has raised over $80,000 since its inception in 2012. We continue to raise awareness and funds for children who have Cerebral Palsy and other disabilities in Central Florida.
