Bagel Run 5K/10K/13.1
Haunted 5K & 10K at Orlando, FL (41)
The Haunted 5K & 10K at Merritt Island, Florida, is a US Road Running event. It begins at 8:00 AM and offers two distances along the same asphalt path. Participants must register beforehand via RunSignup. Packet pickup is available from 30 minutes before the start until 10 minutes before it; on-site registration is not offered.
The course follows a short out-and-back format. One full loop measures 1.56 miles. The 5K distance requires completing the loop twice, while the 10K requires four loops. The event has a 2-hour time limit. Parking is situated near the start, with additional overflow parking provided. The Haunted theme is reflected through finisher medals, awards, series points, and a best costume prize.
Haunted 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Hudson, FL (42)
The Haunted 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon in Hudson, Florida, is a morning road race series offering three distances, beginning at 8:00 AM. All runners must register via RunSignup prior to race day, as there is no on-site registration. Packet pickup is available 30 minutes before the start and concludes 10 minutes before the race, located at the shelter in the Splash Pad area behind the Aquatic Center.
All three races feature a repeated out-and-back course format. The 5K completes the out-and-back loop twice, the 10K completes it four times, and the half marathon uses a longer out-and-back course six times. The event has a 3-hour and 30-minute time limit, a factor primarily for half marathon participants on the six-repeat course.
Haunted 5K, 10K, 13.1M & 26.2M at Bradenton, FL (42)
The Haunted 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, and Marathon at Heritage Harbor Park in Bradenton, Florida, offers four running distances on the same morning, all themed for Halloween. All races begin at 8:00 AM. Runners must register in advance via RunSignup and collect their packets just before the event; no registration is available on race day. The event's layout is functional and contained, with parking near the playground in the expansive lot and a six-hour time limit for all distances.
The races feature short, repeated out-and-back courses, meaning participants will traverse the same section multiple times rather than completing a single, extended loop. The 5K consists of one 3.11-mile out-and-back segment. The 10K covers this segment twice. The half marathon utilizes a 3.28-mile out-and-back course four times, and the marathon repeats this same route eight times. All finishers earn medals, and costume awards complement the Haunted theme. The event also contributes to series points for participants in the broader race series.

TECH CORPS Group Registration is a charity-entry option within the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend in Kissimmee, Florida. The listing includes a 5K and another distance option, with registration starting at $112, and it sits under the event’s adventure-race category rather than a standard local road-race listing.
Runners join the TECH CORPS team and fundraise in addition to the race fee, with individual fundraising pages and support from the organization. The #RunforPi campaign supports K-12 STEM learning, including professional learning for educators and student programs tied to software development, AI, mathematics, and data science. The group also asks runners to run for someone who inspires them, tying the Disney race weekend to a specific education mission.

The Spooky Sprint in Tampa is a Halloween-themed running event offering 5K, 10K, and 15K distances. It caters to a wide audience, not just competitive runners, featuring youth pricing for the 5K and 10K and a family-friendly atmosphere centered on the holiday.
Participants who run in person will receive chip timing, live results, awards, complimentary race photos, and post-race refreshments. All distances come with a custom bib, a designer shirt, and a finisher medal. A virtual option allows participants to run their chosen distance from any location and still receive the event's merchandise.
The Great West Chase
The Great West Chase is a race series in the Tampa area, based at West Park Village Town Center, which serves as the start and finish for all events.

The event, hosted annually since 2002, attracts over 1,300 participants across its three races. Runners, walkers, families, and children travel from across Tampa Bay. The day combines competitive running with a fundraiser for a local school. WOW magazine organizes the race, with all net proceeds benefiting math and literacy programs at elementary schools in the area. Packet pickup is available at the Westchase Recreation Center. Registration can be completed online, by mail, in person, or on race day.

The Florida Run @ Lake Louisa State Park

The course is paved and tree-lined, an out-and-back path through the state park, with marshals stationed along the route. A detail highlighting the setting is the reminder that wildlife has the right of way. Finishers get medals and event shirts, awards are presented to the top overall finisher and the top two in each age division, and the Friends of Lake Louisa State Park provide a native plant giveaway.
Turkey Trails- Orlando
50th Lake to Lake 10k | Lakeland, FL
The Lake to Lake 10k begins at Lake Mirror in Lakeland, Florida, guiding participants through a city centered on water. This marks the 50th year for the race, making it Polk County's oldest annual event. The Lakeland Runners Club, a nonprofit dedicated to promoting running and fitness for all ages and abilities, organizes the event, which features both the 10k and a Stroller Rider race.
The certified 10k route follows residential streets and paved paths around Lakeland's chain of lakes, passing three lakes and the historic Lake Morton area. A notable local feature is the passage by Lake Morton, where Lakeland's swans can be seen. Walkers are accommodated with a 16:00 min/mile minimum pace, and chip timing provides a standard road-race experience. The Denis L Fontaine Foundation has sponsored the race since 1994, with proceeds benefiting the YMCA of Central Florida.
St. Pete Run Fest
St. Pete Run Fest is a three-day running festival in St. Petersburg, Florida, featuring a certified 13.1-mile half marathon as its primary race. The weekend also offers a 10K, 5K, Dog Walk, and children's races, catering to runners seeking a longer road race and families wanting a shorter event within the festival atmosphere.
The half marathon course winds through St. Petersburg streets, incorporating the city’s artsy, street-art-filled setting. Post-race, the festival includes live music, craft beer and wine, and local vendors, creating a weekend street party atmosphere rather than a typical race morning. Good Sweat Foundation Inc., a Florida nonprofit, organizes the event; registration revenue supports operations, with optional contributions available.

About 10K races in Lakeland-Winter Haven, FL
Lakeland Base Miles And Lake Loops
Lakeland-Winter Haven, FL hosts 46 10K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Lakeland runners use Lake Hollingsworth when they want steady laps, fast intervals, or easy Z2 without overthinking it. Lake Morton gives the 47th Mayfaire 5k its old-Lakeland feel, and locals know that course by name. Circle B Bar gives trail legs a better morning when pavement feels stale. Fort Fraser Trail and the George Cooley Trail Ride add mixed-surface options for longer base miles. The Lakeland Runners Club keeps the scene moving with weekly community group runs, races, youth running, and training programs. LRC Kids Run Club starts the habit early, and the Summer Sunrise Watermelon Series is the anchor.
Lakeland-Winter Haven riders keep the good stuff simple, with Fort Fraser Trail, Circle B Bar, and the George Cooley Trail Ride doing most of the work. Fort Fraser Trail starts smooth, and locals enter Circle B Bar after a short paved section before linking loops and trails. The trail runs 4 miles in Polk County. Locals use that mixed gravel and pavement for base miles, tempo work, and a little cyclocross feel. The brief names no cycling club, so riders here lean on shared routes and run-heavy anchor events.
May, July, August, September, October, November, and December give runners and riders the most reliable training window from the brief. July brings the Red, White & Brew 5k on July 4th, and July and August keep the 31st Summer Sunrise Watermelon Series in the mix. August adds the LRC Distance Program, and summer also brings the Middle School Development Program. November puts the Colt 45 Trail Run on the calendar, and December brings LRC Member Events. Winter works well for longer Z2 days, steadier lake loops, and gravel miles without the full summer squeeze.
