About the Frank DeLuca YMCA 5K & 10K
This is a Thanksgiving morning race that starts and finishes at a YMCA facility in Ocala. Both a shorter and a longer distance share the course, and the event draws a substantial crowd, so expect a lively start line with people of all speeds. The proceeds support programs run through the Y itself.
Packet pickup runs the day before the race at the YMCA, with a morning-of option as well. The YMCA lot is closed to race participants, but parking is available at several nearby schools and a health department building within walking distance.

The Frank DeLuca YMCA 5K & 10K has been held every year since at least 2014. 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.
