Riverside Dash 15K & 5K

The highlight of the Riverside Dash is the Allegiant 15K, a race unlike any other. The Allegiant 15K is one of Florida’s top races. Winding around the scenic shoreline of the St. John’s River, the 15K gives runners the only opportunity to run this road. It’s one of the fastest and flattest races in Florida and a place to set a personal record.

The Allegiant 15k takes long-distance runners along U.S. Highway 17-92, a road inaccessible to runners at any other time. You’ll weave through unique Florida ecosystems, spotting dozens of types of birds and other wildlife along the way. There is no elevation on this route allowing runners to set personal records and prepare for upcoming half and full marathons.

After spending time on the scenic highway, the route shifts into history, traveling along the historic Sanford waterfronts, once a major port for Central Florida and through the historic shopping district in downtown Sanford.

Runners finish back at the Publix Post-Race Celebration, where Finisher Medals, Awards, Beer & Pancakes & more await.

The Riverside Dash 5K is a great opportunity for the leisure runner to compete on a great course and help the community at the same time. The 5K weaves through historic downtown Sanford and along the lakefront of Lake Monroe.
