SMHS Family Fun Run/Walk 5k

SMHS Family Fun Run/Walk 5k is held in Ocala, Florida, on November 14, 2026. The single event is a 5K Fun Run/Walk (3.1 miles) that starts at 8:00 AM. As the name says, it is a family-oriented outing where running and walking are equally welcome, so you can expect a relaxed field that includes parents with kids, students, and casual runners rather than a hard-charging front pack.

If you have never covered a 5K before, this is the type of event to start with: no pressure on the clock, plenty of company, and a distance most people can complete with a few weeks of walk-run practice. Aim to build toward 30 to 35 minutes of continuous movement before race day. Runners in training for a longer fall goal can use it as an easy-effort morning or as a short fast segment inside a normal weekend run. Arrive with time to spare before the 8:00 AM start so the kids in your group can settle in before the gun.
