DESCRIPTION

Cheetah's 5k, Presented by Blazing Speed Track Club

Saturday, August 28, 2021 at 7:00 am

Fort Mellon Park, Sanford Florida

The Cheetahs 5K Presented by Blazing Speed Track Club in Sanford, Florida. While COVID-19 has dramatically changed our world and the race industry along with it, we want to offer somewhat of a return to normalcy in the running world.  

As of November 9, 2020, we are excited to announce that the City of Sanford has given us a FINAL permit approval to have a LIVE, IN PERSON race through downtown Sanford.  The only thing that would cancel the live event would be an executive order from the State or Federal government and we don't see that happening.  In the coming weeks, we will communicate with all participants as to the requirements for everyone attending.  Face masks and social distancing will be optional and once you are through the start line, you can remove your face covering if desired. 

We are also offering an option to participate in a virtual race any day that weekend from Thursday, August 26 to Sunday, August 29.

  • Race Day Packet Pickup - 6:00 am
