About the Dunkin Donut Dash 5k
Both distances start and finish at Rotary Park, winding through the Rose Garden neighborhood. The park setting is pleasant and the streets are residential, so the surroundings are quiet rather than urban. The one-mile option has a twist: runners eat a donut before each lap, which makes that race its own thing entirely.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at a local Dunkin' on Pine Island Road, with race-morning pickup available at the park before the start. The finish line has drinks courtesy of Dunkin', and the race itself benefits the Cape Coral Police Athletic League's youth programs.

Going by the 2026 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Dunkin Donut Dash 5k has been held every year since at least 2025. 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.
