Inua 5k Run and Walk

Lace up for a meaningful stride at the Inua 5k Run and Walk on February 28, 2026, in scenic Orlando, Florida. This chip-timed event invites runners and walkers of all abilities to tackle a refreshing 5K, with the added option of a free Kids' Run, all while supporting a vital cause. Participants can anticipate typical race day conditions in late February, with comfortable highs around 77°F and lows near 56°F, and only a minimal 7% chance of precipitation.

The Inua 5k course offers a delightful loop that begins and concludes in Lower Blue Jacket Park. Runners will navigate sidewalks within the park before transitioning to the beautiful paved trail that winds around picturesque Lake Baldwin. This flat, paved route provides an enjoyable experience for personal bests or a leisurely walk amidst the charming scenery. As the 10th annual Inua 5k, this event has built a strong reputation, having raised over $250,000 in its nine-year history to empower orphaned and vulnerable youth in Kenya through Inua Partners in Hope.

Beyond the course, the Inua 5k promises a vibrant community atmosphere and a celebratory finish. Enjoy lively music from the School of Rock Winter Park's House Band, delicious food, and awards presented post-race. The start and finish lines are conveniently located near the intersection of Meeting Place and Lower Park Road in Baldwin Park, with ample parking available along Upper and Lower Park Road, as well as in a public lot off General Rees Avenue. Whether you join in-person or virtually, your participation makes a tangible difference, contributing to a program dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty and fostering self-sufficiency.
