About the Wild Florida 5K
The course runs through Lake Baldwin Park, a natural area within Orlando with the kind of terrain you'd expect from a Florida conservation event: flat paths through oak canopy and open parkland, with Spanish moss overhead and the chance of wildlife nearby. The race benefits Conservation Florida and has a genuine land-protection purpose behind it.
Packet pickup runs for several days before the race at a local running store, with race-morning pickup available on site. Parking is on the surrounding streets and in nearby garages, and dogs and strollers are both welcome, with those groups asked to start toward the back.

The Wild Florida 5K has been held every year since at least 2022. 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 Oct 25, 2026.
