The 5K uses mixed terrain on the preserve trail system and passes through four ecosystems: sand pine scrub, xeric oak scrub, oak hammocks and the river community. The preserve is home to wildlife such as the gopher tortoise and the Florida scrub-jay.
Warm up will be provided by F45 Parrish and a yoga cooldown will be led by Yoga Barre. Food and local vendors will be present in the marketplace. Event entry, warm up, yoga and the fun run are free; pre-registration is required for the 5K. Registration opens 2025-10-03 and the 5K registration fee is $35.00.
Included in 5K registration are a dri-fit event T shirt and a custom finisher medal. Shirt sizes are guaranteed for participants who sign up by midnight on 2026-10-30; thereafter shirts are limited. Ten percent of registration fees will be donated to Foundation for Dreams, which operates Dream Oaks Camp within Rye Preserve.
Packet pick up is scheduled before the event at John Marble Recreation Center and G.T. Bray Park, and on race day at a packet pick up tent at Rye Preserve. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
