We invite you to join us at our 18th annual North Creek Explorer 5K Run & Walk race which has been a local favorite for many years! It is one of just a few Saturday evening races in the area praised for its great atmosphere with live music and food for all. This race keeps growing with record number of runners, families and friends and we hope to see even more runners on the course this year in support of the Coconut Creek Police Explorer Program. In 2025 we were able to donate $8,000 to the Explorer Program thanks to the support of our community.
The race will start at 5PM and conclude with an awards ceremony recognizing the top 3 overall male and female runners as well as top 3 age group male and female winners. There are also awards for top male and female first responders. First 175 finishers will receive a medal.
All proceeds will directly benefit the Coconut Creek Police Department Explorer Program that supports protecting and serving our future community. The Explorers Program provides students, ages 14 – 18, actual experience and training for a career in law enforcement. Proceeds will cover costs for uniforms, equipment, trips, regional competitions and supplies. Without your help students cannot cover these costs or pursue their passion - giving back to the community. Help us meet our fundraising goal of $5,000 and give these students and our community the bright future it deserves! Show your support by signing up for the race or simply donating below.
All runners will receive a swag bag with a long sleeve dri-fit logo shirt. Race day registration and packet pick up for all runners will start at 3PM on race day.
