Boone Brave Run

Boone Brave Run returns to Orlando, Florida, on February 20, 2027, for its 19th running, with the 5K setting off at 8:00 a.m. on the road. One distance, one start time, and an early enough gun that the rest of the Saturday stays yours.

Long-running local 5Ks tend to draw a mix of school teams, club runners and first-timers, and that spread is part of what makes the distance approachable. If this would be your first race, six to eight weeks of running three times a week is plenty of preparation; if you are after a personal best, treat the days before it as you would any hard session, with easy running and one short sharpening effort. Either way, warm up properly, because a 5K is over before a slow start can be repaired.
