Entry prices are the current RunSignUp price for the 5K, before RunSignUp's sign-up fee, checked October 18, 2026. Most of these races raise the price in steps as race day gets closer. Two big Orlando races, the OUC Orlando Half Marathon & 5K on December 5 and the Orlando Magic 5K on January 30, register outside RunSignUp; see their race pages for details.

Running a 5K in Orlando

Register early: most Orlando 5Ks raise their entry fee two or three times before race day. Plan for heat outside the cooler months; October and May mornings can still be warm at the start, and December through February are the most comfortable. Many races, including the Disney events, add a 5K to a bigger race weekend, so check the distance list on each race page.
