About the Dream Finders Homes 12Ks of Christmas, Christmas 5K & Kids Races
This Christmas-themed road race runs out of Hamlin Town Center, a mixed-use development in Winter Garden. The course has a holiday feel to it, with themed entertainment and photo opportunities along the way. There are distances for adults and a separate kids race, so the start area draws a lot of families.
Post-race, there is hot cocoa and cookies, along with music and kids crafts. Santa and his elves make appearances, so the finish-line area tends to linger well past the last runner coming in.

The Dream Finders Homes 12Ks of Christmas, Christmas 5K & Kids Races has been held every year since at least 2019. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
