Central Florida Heroes 5k
About This Event
The 5th Annual Central Florida Heroes 5K will be held at the Tom Fellows Community Center in Davenport.
This promises to be a fun event that you can enjoy with your friends and family.
The Central Florida Heroes 5K will begin at 7:30 am with much pomp-and-circumstance as we celebrate the heroes among us.
We will honor veterans, active military, firefighters, law enforcement officers, first responders, teachers and healthcare professionals as we gather on Veterans Day weekend.
We invite you to bring your family and friends and help us celebrate.
All participants will receive a tri-blend t-shirt (shirts and sizes are guaranteed if pre-registered before October 11, 2026), custom bib, finisher medal and giveaways from participating vendors. We also invite you to stop and visit with our race sponsors before and after your run and enjoy a pancake breakfast while you are waiting for the awards ceremony to begin.
PARKING: Please arrive before 7:00am to avoid traffic around road closures. Some roads around the Tom Fellows Community Center, including State Street and North Blvd W, will be closed at 7:00am in preparation. Please plan accordingly!
