Pirate 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon

Ahoy, mateys! Set your sights on the Pirate 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon, docking in DeBary, Florida, on Saturday, April 4, 2026. This spirited event, held at the picturesque Gemini Springs Park, invites runners of all paces to embrace their inner buccaneer. Choose your treasure – a 5K, 10K, or the ultimate 13.1-mile Half Marathon challenge – all unfolding on a flat, scenic concrete out-and-back course that promises both enjoyment and camaraderie.

The course itself offers a straightforward experience, with the 5K completing one out-and-back loop, the 10K tackling it twice, and half marathoners navigating it four times, all within a generous 3-hour and 30-minute time limit for the longer distance. Race day conditions typically feature pleasant Florida spring weather, with highs around 81°F and lows around 59°F, and only a 10% chance of rain, making for ideal running temperatures. Start and finish are conveniently located at the O.K. Corral shelter within Gemini Springs Park, where packet pickup begins 30 minutes before the 8:30 AM race start.

What truly sets this race apart is its vibrant pirate theme. While costumes are not mandatory, they are highly encouraged, with an award for the best-dressed scallywag. Every finisher will be rewarded with a themed medal, a fitting memento of your adventure. This event is part of the US Road Running Race Series, ensuring a well-organized experience for all participants. Remember to register online in advance, as on-site registration will not be available.
