Race Description
Join us for the Harns Marsh 5K & 12K — a one-of-a-kind trail running experience through the beautiful Harns Marsh area in Lehigh Acres!
Both distances offer runners the opportunity to experience the open trails, wide skies, natural surroundings, and wildlife that make this area such a unique place to run.
New for 2027, we are adding a 12K distance! The 12K will be a single-lap course and will not consist of two laps of the 5K route. The course will extend into the West Marsh, giving 12K participants an opportunity to explore even more of the area.
More than just a race, the Harns Marsh 5K & 12K is a celebration of community, nature, and wellness. The race will take place in conjunction with the LAMSID Wings Over Water (WOW) Festival, which will feature a Touch-a-Truck event, fishing derby, vendors, activities, and more.
Every step supports Unite Lehigh and its mission to bring more community events, opportunities, and economic growth to the Lehigh Acres community. By participating, you’re not only challenging yourself on the course — you’re investing in the future of Lehigh.
Expect a festive race atmosphere with music, cheering supporters, and opportunities to connect with local businesses and community partners. After crossing the finish line, stick around and enjoy everything happening at the WOW Festival.
