About this race
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.
