About the Central Florida Heroes 5k
The race starts and finishes at a community center in Davenport, organized around honoring veterans, active military, first responders, teachers, and healthcare workers. The timing puts it on Veterans Day weekend, so the atmosphere before the start leans ceremonial rather than purely athletic, with sponsors and vendors set up around the venue.
Packet pickup the evening before is at a local car dealership a short distance from the race site. On race morning, road closures go into effect before the start, so arriving early is worth it. A pancake breakfast runs after the race while you wait for the awards.
