Punta Gorda 5K : Girls on the Run Southwest Florida
The event is a seasonal, celebratory 5K that concludes Girls on the Run programs with a tangible goal for participants. It takes place on Saturday, December 5, 2026, at South County Regional Park, 670 Cooper St, Punta Gorda, FL 33950. The course distance is 3.1 miles.
The event is structured as a community occasion with activities such as face painting, water stations, happy hair stations, and a merchandise booth. Local nonprofits and sponsors participate at the finish area. Registered participants who complete the 5K receive a commemorative medal; program participants receive medals as part of their season completion.
Safety and accessibility measures are in place. Every participant must wear a race bib and is assigned a running buddy for the entire course. The council monitors the course, conducts head counts, and trains staff and volunteers on emergency procedures. Designated parking spots and provisions for walking, pushing, or rolling on the course are available to accommodate people with disabilities.
Registration fees for non-program participants are listed as Adult $40 and Youth under 18 $30; the price increases three weeks before the event for non-program participants. Program participants and coaches are already registered through the council and do not need separate registration. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
