About the ODA 5K & Kids Fun Run
The course starts and finishes on a school campus in Lakewood Ranch, then stretches out onto surrounding roads before looping back. It is a true out-and-back feel, with the campus acting as the hub of the morning. A kids fun run runs alongside the main race, with older student athletes available to run with younger children.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at the campus, with a second window on race morning before the start. Both options are on-site, so there is no hunting for a separate location.

The ODA 5K & Kids Fun Run 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.
