Will of the Land 5k Glow Run- Paint the Cloud Green

Prepare for an enchanting evening as the Will of the Land 5k Glow Run- Paint the Cloud Green illuminates the streets of Downtown St. Cloud, Florida, on Saturday, March 14, 2026. This inaugural 5k event offers a unique opportunity to experience a brand new course, winding through the beautifully lit streets of St. Cloud. Participants can choose between a lively 3.11-mile (5k) run or the shorter 800-meter downtown walk/kids run, making it a perfect family-friendly outing. Typical race day conditions in mid-March boast pleasant highs around 79°F and comfortable lows near 56°F, with a minimal 6% chance of rain, promising ideal weather for a glowing good time.

This isn't just a race; it's a vibrant kick-off to the City of St. Cloud's "Paint the Cloud Green St. Patrick's Day Celebration." Runners are encouraged to don their most spirited glowing St. Patrick's themed attire to light up the night, with special awards for the most spirited individual and team. Following your dash, the festivities continue with live music, delectable food, refreshing drinks, and an array of vendors, creating a lively post-race atmosphere for all ages.

Beyond the fun and celebration, the Will of the Land 5k Glow Run proudly serves as a fundraiser for the Will Power Athletics Club's scholarship program. Every stride taken helps provide vital training, transportation, and insurance for deserving athletes facing financial hardships, supporting the next generation of talent. With age group awards for the top three male and female finishers, this event offers a chance to shine both on the course and in the community.
