Get ready to spring into action at the Dream Finders Homes Hippity Hop 5K, a cherished Easter-themed race returning to Winter Garden, Florida, on Saturday, April 4, 2026! This popular event, held at Hamlin Town Center, is renowned for its festive atmosphere and is perfect for runners and walkers of all ages and fitness levels. Participants can look forward to a flat and fast 5K course, chip-timed to accurately capture your performance. Typical race day conditions in early April offer pleasant weather, with highs generally around 83°F and lows near 59°F, accompanied by a minimal 10% chance of rain.

The Hippity Hop 5K is more than just a race; it's a family-friendly celebration. Runners will be treated to a scenic course and can expect a water station around the 1.5-mile mark to keep hydrated. What truly sets this event apart is the vibrant Easter cheer, including a special visit from the Easter Bunny himself! All 5K participants will receive a finisher's medal and a race t-shirt to commemorate their achievement.

Beyond the finish line, the festivities continue with complimentary coffee from Foxtail Coffee and delicious ice cream from Kelly's Ice Cream, adding a sweet reward to your accomplishment. Younger participants can join the Orlando Health Kids Races, featuring dashes ranging from 50 to 200 yards, where every child receives a medal and bib. Given its reputation as one of the best holiday-themed runs in the region, the Hippity Hop 5K has a history of selling out, so early registration is highly recommended to secure your spot in this delightful community event.
