Quick overview: Via easy access by The Western Beltway (SR 429), Apopka's Northwest Recreation Complex is located just west of the nature trails and canoe routes of Wekiwa Springs State Park. As part of one of the largest and well maintained sports facilities in Central Florida, runners will enjoy competitive and casual race routes alongside ball fields and courts. The NWRC 5k USATF certified race course follows a paved concrete and asphalt path, circles a large pond and water fountain, and extends by long straightaways between ball fields and forest. Fast times are common after competing on this nearly level route.
Course description:
Get ready for an exciting 5K race in downtown Apopka. Our scenic course offers a mix of suburban, city, and park views, with moderate hills and a pedestrian bridge overpass.
Course starts on Fifth street, a thriving part of downtown Apopka’s Community Redevelopment Area. The first two kilometers takes place on city streets and passes through notable landmarks, such as Station Street, Apopka Police Department, Apopka Museum, and local businesses before looping around the beautiful Hilton Garden Inn fountain. For the next 2.5 kilometers, the course heads North on the popular West Orange Trail, one of Florida's most popular rail-trails that connects communities such as Winter Garden, Oakland, and Wekiva Springs. Along this portion of the course, you’ll cross the notable West Orange Trail pedestrian bridge before passing through Kit Land Nelson Park, before turning back and completing the course in downtown Apopka.
