Wild Florida 5K 2023 Recap
Whether you walked, ran, danced, or crawled across that finish line, one thing’s for certain: YOU helped save our wild Florida.
Your participation in this year’s event helped ensure that our wildlife and lands stay exactly that — wild.
You Made an Impact!
With over 400 runners coming out to join us on September 2, 2023, we raised over $30,000 to help protect the lands we love.

Runners and walkers alike took to the starting line early Saturday morning in Lake Baldwin Park, anxiously awaiting the start signal. The beautiful 3.1-mile course spanned in front of us, stretching along the edge of Lake Baldwin, a reminder of why we’d all sacrificed a Saturday morning snooze — to save the wild wonders we love.
Conservation Florida is a statewide accredited land conservancy working to conserve Florida’s water, wildlife, wild places, and protect the Florida Wildlife Corridor. The organization’s conservation projects support Florida’s native plants and wildlife, fresh water, wildlife corridors, family farms and ranches, the economy, and nature-based recreation.
Runners crushed the course — both in-person & virtually. Even if you weren’t able to make the event in Orlando, you could still make a difference — and break a sweat!
After fist-pumping and leaping our way across the finish line, we headed over to Gator’s Dockside for the Wild Florida 5K Official After-Party. We all grubbed for good — the proceeds of purchased meals were generously matched by Gator’s Dockside Baldwin Park, going directly back to our land-protecting work.
Congrats to our Wild Florida 5K overall winner!

Thanks to your support, this was by far the most successful Wild Florida 5K we've ever had! We nearly tripled last year’s attendance and increased our fundraising efforts exponentially.
We hope to see you all next year!
