Running Scared 5K
About this event
Join us for the 2026 Running Scared 5K Pumpkin Challenge at Florida Gulf Coast University, supporting Special Olympics Florida.
This year we’re switching things up with a morning race starting at 8:30 AM, bringing the same high-energy fun to an exciting new location. Lace up your running shoes and get ready for a race that supports an incredible cause — all proceeds benefit Special Olympics Florida. In the Pumpkin Challenge, you won’t just run the course — you’ll carry a pumpkin along the way. All participants will receive a Running Scared t-shirt and a finisher’s medal.
