Pumpkin Patch Dash 5K and Kids Run

The West Orange Junior Service League is excited to host this year’s 17th Annual 5K as the ‘Pumpkin Patch Dash’ on Saturday, October 17, 2026. All proceeds from the race will go towards the West Orange Junior Service League Scholarship Fund! Your contributions and support will directly impact local high school seniors in our community to achieve their college goals. Come run or walk this evening race and enjoy the creative decorations through beautiful Oakland Park in Winter Garden. This unique, nighttime, family-friendly 5K is sure to be fun for everyone.
