Run the Resort 5K

Lace up for an unforgettable experience at the Run the Resort 5K, set for Saturday, September 5th, 2026, at the picturesque Mission Resort + Club in Howey-in-the-Hills, Florida. This unique 5K invites runners to journey through beautifully manicured resort grounds, where the course gracefully weaves past tranquil lakes, verdant golf fairways, lush gardens, and historic architecture. Designed to be enjoyable for all fitness levels, it's more than just a race—it’s an opportunity to immerse yourself in a scenic escape.

Participants will kick off the professionally timed event at 7:30 AM, receiving a custom finisher's medal and an official race shirt to commemorate their achievement. As typical race day conditions in early September can bring highs around 91F and lows around 75F, with a 20% chance of precipitation, runners should prepare for warm and potentially humid weather. After crossing the finish line, celebrate your efforts with delicious breakfast sandwiches and refreshing beverages, followed by an awards ceremony at 8:30 AM to honor top finishers.

What truly sets the Run the Resort 5K apart is the opportunity to transform your race day into a full wellness getaway. Enhance your experience with special resort packages, including spa treatments, gourmet brunch options, or an overnight stay at the Mission Resort + Club, making it the perfect active retreat for families, health enthusiasts, and weekend adventurers alike.
