Stage Fright Walk & 5k

Stage Fright Walk & 5k takes place in Naples, Florida, on October 31, 2026. One format is on the program, a combined walk and 5K run over 3.1 miles, starting at 8:00 a.m.

Events that put walkers and runners on the same start line produce a broad range of finishing times, which takes the pressure off if the distance is new to you. Runners should still seed themselves near the front and warm up, since a 5K is decided in the first mile as much as the last. Four to six weeks of running three times a week, with one of those runs broken into faster repeats, is a sensible build. On race morning, eat lightly and finish well before the 8 a.m. start.
