Seaside Strides 5K

Get ready to experience the vibrant atmosphere of the Seaside Strides 5K, set for Sunday, October 25, 2026, in beautiful Naples, Florida! This professionally timed 3.1-mile race kicks off at 8:00 AM at North Collier Regional Park, offering a fantastic opportunity for runners of all ages to achieve personal bests on what is anticipated to be a runner-friendly course. Typical race day conditions in late October boast pleasant highs around 85°F and lows near 69°F, with only a 7% chance of precipitation, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable run.

The Seaside Strides 5K is more than just a race; it's a festive Halloween weekend celebration that encourages runners to embrace the fun by coming dressed as their favorite princesses, superheroes, or action stars. This unique event also serves a wonderful cause, with extra funds raised benefiting Seaside Travels, a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to providing therapeutic community outings for children with special needs in Lee and Collier Counties. Participants can look forward to a vibrant post-race atmosphere featuring raffle baskets, including a grand $1000 gift card from Dunkin Diamonds, alongside awards for overall male and female winners, masters, grand masters, senior grand masters, and various age groups.

Families will appreciate the "Spooky Strides Mini Fun Run/Walk" for kids, complete with free candy handed out by whimsical stilt-walking characters. For the main 5K, dogs on leashes and strollers are welcome, making it an inclusive event for everyone. All participants who register by an earlier deadline will receive an awesome dri-fit race shirt, adding to the memorable experience of this impactful community event.
