Lace up your running shoes for the Viking 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Deltona, FL, a vibrant event set to take place on Saturday, February 28, 2026. This race invites runners to experience the charm of Volusia County on scenic out-and-back courses, with races kicking off at 8:30 AM. Participants can choose their challenge from a 5K, a 10K, or a Half Marathon (13.1M) distance, all starting and finishing at Green Springs Park. Typical race day conditions in late February offer pleasant running weather, with highs generally around 75F and lows around 53F, accompanied by a low 8% chance of precipitation.

The course features an engaging looped format, with the 5K covering a 0.78-mile out-and-back course twice, and the 10K completing it four times for a total of 1.56 miles per loop. Half Marathoners will tackle a slightly longer 1.09-mile out-and-back course, completing six loops for their 13.1 miles. This multi-loop design provides consistent support and a unique opportunity to gauge your progress. Finishers of all distances will earn a well-deserved medal to commemorate their achievement, and participants also receive a t-shirt.

Race day logistics are designed for a smooth experience, with packet pickup beginning 30 minutes before the race start and concluding 10 minutes prior. While there is limited parking at Green Springs Park, convenient overflow parking is available at the Deltona Sunshine Senior Center, located at 980 Lakeshore Dr, Deltona, FL 32725. The Half Marathon offers a generous time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes, accommodating a wide range of paces. Join fellow runners for a day of fitness and community in beautiful Deltona.
