Sickles Athletic Booster Club 5K Fun Run/Walk

Sickles Athletic Booster Club 5K Fun Run/Walk takes place in Odessa, Florida, on November 14, 2026, with a single 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 8:05 AM. The event is billed as a fun run and walk, which means runners and walkers share the course and the emphasis is on participation. It is organized under the banner of the Sickles Athletic Booster Club, so it has the feel of a school-community race rather than a competitive road event.

This format is well suited to families, students, and anyone doing their first 3.1 miles. There is no pressure to run the whole way; a walk-run approach is welcome and gets you to the finish in comfort. If you want to race it, use it to test your pace with an even effort on the road. Six weeks of three short runs per week is plenty of preparation for a first 5K, and experienced runners can simply slot it into a normal training week as a tempo-effort session before a weekend long run.
