Kids from all over the state of Florida and several nearby states swam, biked and ran through the water park and donned their finisher medals with pride. During the post-race ceremony, Tampa Bay Sports Commission and EDI staff presented Dawn Lambert, mom to Gavin Lambert whom the race’s finish line is named after, with a check for $2,500 to the Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance, almost doubling last year’s contribution.
