On Saturday, February 15th, 2025, starting at Mead Garden at 7:30 a.m., the 5K run/walk winds thru the shaded tree lined streets of Winter Park. Following the 5K, everyone is invited back to Fiddler's Green Irish Pub for a free beer, live Irish music, Irish dancers, raffles and a fun time for all!
The 5K is about more than the run…and the beer…it is about the opportunity to benefit local charities. Over the years these runs have included many great charities and this year our beneficiaries are the Habitat for Humanity and CECO (Conductive Education Center for Orlando).
Over the past 17 years more than $500,000 has been raised for local charities, so the fun and festivities have a much larger purpose.
Even if you can't run in the 5K you can still help out by making a direct donation, becoming a fundraiser, or supporting a runner and team!
You can also become a Fiddler's Green Charity 5K sponsor and really show your generosity!
