About this adventure

Central Florida's beloved running heritage organization Track Shack hosts its annual Thanksgiving morning 5K through the scenic brick-lined avenues and canopy-shaded streets of historic Winter Park. Starting along Park Avenue adjacent to Central Park and winding past Rollins College and Lake Virginia, this family-favorite holiday run welcomes runners, joggers, and walkers of all fitness levels. Parents pushing jogging strollers are welcome in the family waves, and children can participate in the free Track Shack Kids Fun Run dashes held on the lush lawns of Central Park following the 5K. The race village features shaded festival seating, complimentary Dutch oven holiday pastries, fresh fruit, commemorative finisher ribbons, and clean public restrooms with changing tables in Central Park.
