Orlando Halloween Pumpkin Glow Run 5K

Orlando Halloween Pumpkin Glow Run 5K takes place in Winter Garden, Florida, on October 30, 2026. There is one distance on the schedule, a 5K covering 3.1 miles, and it starts at 6 p.m., so you run it in the evening rather than at the more usual morning hour.

Central Florida in late October is still warm, and an evening start does more to soften that than an early one you might expect. Hydrate through the afternoon and start the first half mile more conservatively than feels natural. For most runners the 5K works either as a standalone effort or as the fast component of a training week. Newcomers can walk sections without losing much time, since the distance is short enough that even a mixed run-walk finishes quickly.
