Moss Park Preserve Challenge Walk or Run 5K

Moss Park Preserve Challenge Walk or Run 5K takes place in Orlando, Florida, on November 15, 2026, with a single 5K (3.1 miles) that starts early, at 6:00 AM. The name says it all: you can walk or run the distance, and the setting is Moss Park.

The early start is the defining feature here, so plan for it. Eat something light an hour or two before, do a short warm-up, and expect to be done before most of the city is awake. The walk-or-run format makes this a good pick for a first 5K, for a family outing, or for a run-walk approach where you alternate a few minutes of jogging with a minute of walking. If you're running it hard, keep in mind that a pre-dawn effort feels different from a mid-morning one: give yourself extra time to loosen up, and don't be surprised if the first mile takes a little longer to click. A few weeks of easy running, three times a week, is plenty of preparation.
