Recurring 5K races near Orlando

Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

City of Rockledge "Rocktober" 5K

The City of Rockledge "Rocktober" 5K is a morning 5K held in Rockledge, Florida. It begins at the Rockledge Civic Hub. This city-run October race starts at 7:30 AM. Registration fees are set for adults and children, with a small discount for runners who opt out of receiving a shirt. The race benefits Kennedy Middle School's recreational and athletic upgrades. The first 120 registrants receive race T-shirts. Drinks and snacks are provided post-race. Awards are given to overall winners, Masters runners (40+), and the top three finishers in age groups from 9-and-under to 70-plus. Packet pickup is at Rockledge City Hall the day before. Late registration and pickup are available at the Civic Hub on race morning. Dogs are not permitted, except for ADA service animals.

Howl-o-ween 5k - Orlando

The Howl-o-ween 5K in Orlando is a Saturday-in-October run/walk at Blue Jacket Park with a Halloween theme and dogs welcome on the course. It starts at 9:00 a.m. Eastern, is open to ages 3 and up, and supports animal shelters, pet lovers, and animal charities rather than feeling like a strictly competitive road race. Participants can run or walk with or without a pet, and dogs do not need their own registration. Entry includes a short-sleeve shirt, finisher medal, chip-timed bib, live results, finish-line treats for both humans and dogs, and a doggie charm for every participant. J3 Timing handles scoring, results are posted online, packet pickup is available on race morning, awards are ready at the registration tent after the finish, and there is also a virtual option for people who cannot attend in person.

Sazón & Sneakers 5K

Sazón & Sneakers 5K is a chip-timed 5K run/walk in Lake Mary, Florida, hosted by Spanish Girls Run, a nonprofit 501(c)(3). The race concludes Hispanic Heritage Month, begins early, and limits participants to 500. It is suitable for beginners, with timing and scoring via a disposable chip on the race bib. The course is USATF certified, described by organizers as fast and flat, ideal for first-timers and those aiming for a faster 5K time. The event offers finisher medals, awards for top overall men and women, age-group awards, a free kids race for ages 10 and under, community vendors, and sponsor activities. Proceeds support Spanish Girls Run programs such as a free Women's Self-Defense Seminar, Miles for Dignity, Meals for the Soul, scholarships for Latina women, and race-fee sponsorships for women running their first finish line.

Sanford Riverwalk 5K

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 Deland, FL (41)

The Haunted 5K, 10K, and 13.1M is a morning race held in DeLand, Florida. All three distances begin at 8:30 AM. Runners select a 5K, 10K, or half marathon, register in advance via RunSignup, and collect their packets just before the start. The courses consist of repeated out-and-back sections, making it suitable for those who prefer a straightforward path with frequent views of the same locations. The 5K covers its out-and-back segment twice, the 10K covers it four times, and the half marathon uses an extended out-and-back segment six times. The race has a 3 hour 30 minute time limit. Parking at the start is restricted, with additional parking available half a mile away, so early arrival is recommended.

Paint the Town Purple 5K

The Chocoholics 5k: Run/Walk: Orlando FL

The Race for a Healthier World 5K

The DeLeon Dash 5K is a run, walk, or jog within DeLeon Springs State Park in De Leon Springs, Florida. Beginning at the park, located at 601 Ponce Deleon Boulevard, the race offers a straightforward 5K through the woods, near one of Central Florida’s historic spring landscapes. The course follows the spring, passes the Old Sugar Mill, and travels under large oak trees. The Friends of DeLeon Springs State Park organize the event, with proceeds supporting their efforts to preserve, interpret, and restore the park’s natural and cultural resources. Participants can enjoy the spring pool, nature trail, wildlife viewing, kayaking, paddleboarding, the visitor center, an eco-history boat tour, and the park’s pancake house after the race.

AdventHealth Great Floridian Multisport Festival

The AdventHealth Great Floridian Multisport Festival takes place over two days in October at Waterfront Park in Clermont, Florida, a World Triathlon Destination. The main event is the full-distance Great Floridian Triathlon, which has been held continuously in the continental United States longer than any other full-distance triathlon. The schedule also includes half-distance, sprint, duathlon, aquabike, aquathlon, relay, run, walk, and virtual race options. The most unique event is the Triple Triathlon, requiring athletes to complete three sprint triathlons consecutively. Triple Duathlon, Triple Aquabike, and Triple Triathlon Relay options are also available. The weekend begins with a 15K and 5K Run/Walk on the South Lake Trail for runners, and teams can participate in various relay categories.

Pink Ribbon 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run

The Shannon Pink Ribbon Run is an annual October community race supporting the Shannon Breast Center, with registration opening in August. Runners can choose a chip-timed 5K or 10K, while walkers and families have a 1-mile walk/run option. The event centers breast cancer awareness, especially the importance of early detection. Breast cancer survivors can enter for free and receive a special Survivors Shirt, and proceeds support local patient-focused programs at the Shannon Breast Center.

About 5K races in Orlando

Orlando Training Notes

Orlando hosts 116 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

The circuit is 8km paved with shade, restrooms, and water fountains. Cady Way Trail, Orlando Urban Trail, Shingles Creek Trail, West Orange Trail, and Lake Baldwin Running Trail handle steady Z2 and longer base miles. Orlando Runners Club meets Monday at Winter Park Mellow Mushroom for 3 or 5 miles, and its Sunday Winter Park run goes 6, 7, or 10 miles. Orlando Social Run Club keeps Thursday casual with a 5K from PIGZZA. Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend and Labor Day 5K work as easy anchor races.

Locals ride Orlando for mellow weekend cruises, gravel-grinding, and flat group miles more than big alpine work. West Orange Trail gives riders 24 miles, and Lake Apopka brings the quiet marshes, peaceful lakes, and gravel legs. Florida Freewheelers ride every weekend, Windermere Roadies and Seminole Cyclists keep road folks moving, and Orlando Critical Mass gathers at Loch Haven Park on the last Friday of the month. Santos sits 90 minutes away with dozens of miles of theme-park singletrack, so mountain bikers get a real hit. SugarLoaf Mountain is where the climbs are, and the Sugarloaf - Buckhill - Scrub Jay route gains +220m over 21.87 km.

October through July gives Orlando the broad training window, but locals treat summer like a timing puzzle. Summer runs start early, and the promise of a tasty brew after a couple of miles in the Florida heat will always get me moving. Heatwave Half Marathon keeps summer honest, and Lake Eola or San Sebastián Trail shade helps when intervals feel spicy. Winter changes the mood more than the gear, because January brings Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend and easier long-run weather. Cyclists use winter for steadier Z2, weekend centuries like Intracoastal Waterway Century and JHOP Century Ride, and cleaner base miles before the heat stacks up again.
