Wellington 5k, 10 Miler and Tower Challenge
About this race
The Wellington 5k and 10 Miler is designed to be the perfect fall tune up race for those training for fall races, including half and full marathons. The course begins and ends at Tiger Shark Cove Park in Wellington, Florida. The 5k course runs along a path on Greenbrier Boulevard, while the 10 Miler runs through the scenic Wellington Environmental Preserve at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Everglades Habitat located on Flying Cow Road. The 10 mile run is a combination of paved path, shell rock road and boardwalks through the wetland habitat. If you are looking for the extra challenge, then sign up for the 10 Miler Tower Challenge. You will run up and down the 5-story tower during the 10 mile race. This race is entering its 20th year and has consistently been a one-of-a-kind experience. Race proceeds benefit the Kids Cancer Foundation and other local charities.
