Lace up and hit the trail for a cause that hits close to home for every runner in Ocala! The Surface the Future 5k is a community fundraiser dedicated to improving and surfacing local tracks so athletes of all ages and abilities have safe, quality surfaces to train and compete on.
Starting and finishing at the Baseline Trail Head, this out-and-back course takes runners through one of Ocala's most scenic trail areas. Whether you're chasing a PR or just out for a fun morning with fellow runners, every step you take helps pave the way — literally — for better running surfaces across our community.
All proceeds go directly toward track surfacing projects right here in Ocala. You don't have to be fast. You just have to show up.
Walk it. Run it. Fund it.

First Gen-5K – Run for Opportunity, Grow Together
Join us on August 8th at 7:30 AM at Baseline Road Trailhead for the inaugural First Gen-5K, a race dedicated to supporting first-generation college students.
More than just a run, this event is a growing space for the community where local businesses, leaders, and families come together to connect, promote, and inspire. With chip timing, sponsor booths, and a welcoming environment, it’s a powerful way to move forward together.
Every step supports education. Every booth builds connection.
Let’s run with purpose and grow as one.
Proceeds from this event will support the First Generation Foundation, the Vida Valiente Foundation, and local scholarship initiatives that directly impact first-generation students in our community.
