AdventHealth Santa's Twilight 5K - Cocoa
AdventHealth Santa's Twilight 5K takes place in Historic Cocoa Village and uses Riverfront Park as the event venue. The race course is an out-and-back along Indian River Drive and follows the Cocoa Riverfront. The event is scheduled for Saturday, December 12, 2026.
The program highlights an LED light tunnel at the start and finish, holiday lights along the riverfront, and Holiday Cheer Zones positioned along the course. Participants receive a long sleeved race shirt, a themed finisher medal, glow necklaces, free race photos, and post-race refreshments including hot chocolate and holiday cookies. The event uses chip timing and presents awards for the 5K top three overall and top masters, and the top three in each five-year age division for both male and female categories.
A costume contest is part of the event; judging occurs before the race and winners are announced after the race. Costume contest categories include Fastest Santa, Best Team or Group, Crowd Favorite, Most Electrifying, and Most Creative. Packet pick-up is listed at the Catherine Schweinsberg Rood Central Library in Cocoa. The event lists a charity partner as TBD and invites volunteer participation for course support and aid stations.
