The Pensacola Fiesta 10k & 5k, a Pensacola Runners Association Event, is the premier heritage road race in Northwest Florida and the perfect way to close out your Spring racing season. The event features fast and beautiful 10k and 5k races winding through the heart of Pensacola!

What’s the deal? So GMA picked LAKELAND (yes, us!) to represent as one of their cities for their first-ever 5K event. We’re rolling with the big leagues: Philly, Chicago, Houston,  and more. This is our chance to show off our stunning Lake Mirror and the coolest runner/walker group anywhere.  Select the Lakeland Runners Club so Good Morning America can you details specific to our location.

Don’t wait—put this on your calendar and plan to be there bright and early at 6:30 AM on May 14 for the anticipated 7:00 AM start. Sign up using the link below (free to everyone, so friends are welcome to join in).  GMA is handling registration so we won’t be able to send reminders, but trust us, you won’t want to miss it.

✨No timing, no pressure, just good vibes and GMA swag (limited quantities so first come, first served). The course will be five-1k loops around Lake Mirror so the camera crews can capture our group from every angle (do more or fewer laps as it suits your ability). Let’s show the country what Lakeland is all about.
