North Creek Explorer 5K Run/Walk

North Creek Explorer 5K Run/Walk is hosted by North Creek Presbyterian Church in Coconut Creek, Florida, on December 5, 2026, with a single 5K run/walk starting at 5:00 PM. The community event promotes health and supports the Coconut Creek Police Explorer program, which uses the funds for uniforms and training for students interested in law enforcement careers. There is music, food and a festive atmosphere, awards in several categories, medals for the first 175 finishers, and a goody bag with an event t-shirt for every runner.

An evening start is a different animal from a dawn race. Eat your last full meal three to four hours out, keep the afternoon low-key, and warm up longer than you would in the morning. If you are walking, the same course and the post-race food are yours all the same.
