About the Tomoka Brave, Strong & Healthy 5K Run/Walk

The course starts behind an elementary school, heads east along Old Tomoka Road, loops through a residential neighborhood, then picks up a walking trail out to a park before turning around and retracing the path back. The finish is under a covered pavilion behind the school, where awards are handed out and refreshments are waiting.

Packet pickup runs the afternoon before at the school, with race-morning pickup available as well. Overflow parking is across the street at a church. The awards ceremony stays on-site, so there is no reason to wander far after you finish.

Common Questions About the Tomoka Brave, Strong & Healthy 5K Run/Walk

Will I finish last at the Tomoka Brave, Strong & Healthy 5K Run/Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 33:40, and the last recorded finisher came in around 59:17, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Tomoka Brave, Strong & Healthy 5K Run/Walk a good first 5K?

It is a small race (136 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Tomoka Brave, Strong & Healthy 5K Run/Walk?

The 5K winner ran 19:17 while the median finisher took 33:40. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
