Hickory Hammock 5K & Kids Fun Run

Join your neighbors for the 10th annual Hickory Hammock 5K & Kids Fun Run, a vibrant community event set to take place on Sunday, September 27, 2026, in picturesque Winter Garden, FL. This exclusive 3.1-mile run/walk winds through the scenic paths of the beautiful Hickory Hammock gated community, offering a chance to connect with friends and family while enjoying the charming neighborhood scenery. The race starts and finishes at the Hickory Hammock Community Park, creating a central hub for all the excitement. Typical race day conditions in late September often bring warm Florida weather, with highs around 91°F and lows around 72°F, along with a 14% chance of precipitation, so plan accordingly for an early morning start at 7:30 AM EDT for the 5K.

This beloved annual event is more than just a race; it's a celebration of community spirit and fitness, with all proceeds dedicated to supporting the impactful work of Edgewood Children's Ranch. After crossing the finish line, participants and spectators can look forward to delicious breakfast food and refreshing drinks, fostering a convivial atmosphere of camaraderie and celebration. Young runners can also join in the fun with a dedicated Kids Fun Run kicking off after the main event at 8:30 AM EDT. Every participant in the 5K receives a commemorative T-shirt, a swag bag, and a medal, with trophies awarded to the top three overall male and female finishers, making for a rewarding experience for all involved.
