CORE's Reindeer Run & Roll 5k

CORE's Reindeer Run & Roll 5k is scheduled for December 5, 2026 in Altamonte Springs, Florida. The program is a single 5K starting at 7 a.m.; no elevation gain is listed for the course.

A 7 a.m. gun means an early alarm and a compressed warm-up, so get moving before you arrive rather than standing around cold: easy jogging, a few drills and two or three strides are enough for 3.1 miles. The distance is friendly to newcomers, who can walk part of it without losing much ground, and useful to trained runners as a hard end-of-year effort or a speed check inside a marathon block. If you want a number to aim at, run the first mile a couple of seconds slower than goal pace and build from there.
