• Bonnet Springs Park 5k & Kids Fun Run •
Join us at Bonnet Springs Park on Saturday, March 29 for a sunrise 5k that showcases the natural beauty of towering oak trees and the rolling terrain of Florida's Best Free Natural Attraction. Bonnet Springs is a beautiful blend of urban amenities in a natural setting. Race with us and then stay to explore all there is to offer in the 168-acre park.
The 5k will start at 7:30 AM. A Kids Fun Run will be held following the 5k, and is expected to start at 9:00 AM and all Kids Fun Run participants should be at the Family Lawn by 8:30 AM.
Walkers are welcome at this event. The Bonnet Springs Park 5k is held on a USATF-certified course (FL23012JK). The race is chip-timed.
