Arise-N-Run 5K Run & 2 Mile Walk

On March 27, 2027, runners of all ages are invited to participate in the Ocean Drive Run along Cole Park’s scenic South End. Organized by First Baptist Church since 2004, this family-friendly race offers a picturesque course with stunning bay views and a flat terrain that is ideal for both competitive racers and casual walkers. The event starts at 8:00 AM and features late registration until March 1st, when prices increase to $35; however, participants aged 17 and under will continue to pay just $15.
Age division awards are available for various categories including overall male and female winners as well as top three finishers in each age group. The race includes prizes for runners from ages 8 & under through those over 70 years old. Participants who register early can guarantee themselves a dri-fit T-shirt, but availability is not guaranteed after March 13th.
Packet pickup will be held at the First Baptist Recreation Center behind the church on Wednesday, March 24 from 5:30-7:30 PM and Friday, March 26 from 10 AM to 4 PM. Late registration options are also available during packet pick-up times. The event concludes with a post-run awards ceremony where several door prizes will be given away; winners must be present at the presentation.
This race offers an engaging atmosphere for runners of all levels and is sure to provide memorable moments along Ocean Drive’s beautiful shoreline.
