North Creek Explorer 5K Run/Walk
The North Creek Explorer 5K is an annual community athletic event held in Coconut Creek, Florida. This event marks the 18th edition of the run and walk, which takes place on a Saturday evening. The event is hosted by the North Creek Presbyterian Church and organized to support the local community through an established partnership with law enforcement.
The event features a single primary distance:

The race serves as a fundraiser for the Coconut Creek Police Department Explorer Program. This program provides students between the ages of 14 and 18 with training, equipment, and experience related to careers in law enforcement. Proceeds from registration and donations are used to cover the costs of uniforms, supplies, and regional competitions for these participants.
Participants receive a swag bag that includes a dri-fit logo shirt. At the conclusion of the event, an awards ceremony is held to recognize performance across several categories. Awards are presented to the overall top male and female finishers, as well as winners in specific age groups. Additionally, there are specific awards designated for first responders. The first 175 finishers to cross the line receive a commemorative medal. The evening atmosphere is complemented by live music and food for attendees.
