SCROLL TO ROAST
5:58 AM — PICK YOUR SUNRISE
Three cities. One very reasonable finish line.
THE CUP UP THERE? IT RELABELS ITSELF WHEN YOU PICK. GO AHEAD.
6:02 AM — A WORD TO THE "NOT A RUNNER" CROWD
Anyone. Seriously, anyone.
You don't have to be a runner. You have to be a person who finishes things — and there's coffee involved, so you will.
Nobody's counting.
Timed if you care, cheerfully ignored if you don't. No cutoff sweep, no shame van.
39 minutes.
That's the average American 5K finish. A stroll with ambition. You're going to be fine.
Last place wins too.
The loudest cheers and the same bottomless cup. We take care of the back of the pack.
The Pace-O-Meter
Drag to your honest 5K time. Get certified. Screenshot it into the group chat as proof of intent.
☕ COFFEE: GUARANTEED AT EVERY SPEED
The national average is 39 minutes. You're basically elite.
FINISH TIME · 39 MIN
6:15 AM — YOUR MORNING, HOUR BY HOUR
This isn't a race. It's a Saturday morning, perfected.
Watch the sky while you scroll — the sun comes up with you.
6:15 AM
Check-in & packet pickup
You're here early. The coffee isn't ready yet. Neither are you. Perfect.
6:30 AM
Music starts. Energy builds.
The DJ's warming up, the cornhole boards are out, and somebody's already stretching too seriously.
7:10 AM
Group warm-up
A shake-out so nobody pulls anything. Effort optional, participation encouraged.
7:30 AM
The 5K begins
Go. Or, you know, walk. The sun's up, the water's glittering, and the coffee is brewing behind you as motivation.
8:15 AM
The finish line hits different
Medal on your neck, coffee in your hand. In that order. Immediately.
8:45 AM
Awards, music & your third refill
Top-3 finishers get hardware. Everyone else gets the hang: cornhole, live music, and no reason to leave.
7:31 AM — THE COURSE · ORLANDO
One lap around Lake Baldwin.
Flat, paved, shaded, and unreasonably scenic. 3.1 miles of lakeside path that never leaves the party far behind.
SURFACE — PAVED LAKESIDE PATH
ELEVATION — FLORIDA FLAT
STROLLERS — ABSOLUTELY
NOTE — FINAL COURSE PRINTS WHEN THE PERMIT DOES
8:15 AM — THE HAUL
Yes, it's mostly about the medal.
And the shirt. And the coffee. The 5K is how we justify it.

Finisher Medal
HEAVIER THAN YOUR EXCUSES
City and date on the front. Bragging rights on both sides.
Race Tee
SOFT · WEARABLE · NOT A PAJAMA SHIRT
A shirt you'll actually wear on purpose, in public.
Coffee at the Finish
FRESH-POURED · THE WHOLE POINT
The genre standard is one stingy complimentary cup. We think that's rude.
Race Bib + Official Results
YOUR NAME · YOUR NUMBER
Timed if you care. A keepsake either way.
8:20 AM — BRING THE CREW
Somebody in the group chat has to make this happen. It's you.
It was always going to be you. One checkout, four bibs, zero group-text negotiations.
Put your crew on the cup.
Type your crew's name and watch it print onto the cup in the sky — then screenshot it straight into the thread, next to the registration link. That's the whole play.
☝ IT'S ON THE CUP. SCREENSHOT TIME.

Groups of 4+ save $5 a runner at Orlando. Bigger crew, better math, louder cheering section.

UNTIL SAN DIEGO'S PRICE RISES
ASK THE CUP — HOSTED BY THE HOST
Every question you're too cool to ask.
Can I walk the whole thing?
“Walk it, stroll it, interpretive-dance it. The coffee doesn't check your pace.”
Yes — walkers are fully welcome, there's no cutoff sweep, and the finish line stays loud for everyone. The course stays open until the last finisher is done.
Strollers? Dogs? Kids?
“The more wheels and paws, the better the finish-line photos.”
Strollers and leashed dogs are welcome — we'll ask you to start toward the back of the pack so nobody gets clipped. Kids love this race. KIDS PRICING — ANNOUNCING SOON
Is it timed? Are there awards?
“Timed if you care. Cheerfully ignored if you don't.”
The race is officially timed with results posted after. Awards go to the top 3 male and female finishers and top youth finishers. Everyone else wins the coffee.
Where do I park?
“Closer than you parked at the mall last week.”
Harbor Park at Lake Baldwin has on-site parking plus neighborhood street parking. Full parking map lands with your race-week email.
When is packet pickup?
“Early enough that you can still be late and fine.”
Check-in and packet pickup open at 6:15 AM on race morning. Details on early pickup — including grabbing packets for your whole crew — are coming with the final logistics. DETAILS FIRMING UP
What if it rains? Can I get a refund?
“It's Florida. The rain is usually just passing through, like everyone's in-laws.”
The run happens rain or shine; in severe weather we'll delay or reschedule and email everyone immediately. Bibs are transferable to a friend if your morning falls apart. Full refund & weather policy publishes before registration opens. POLICY IN FINAL REVIEW
Is the coffee actually good?
“We named the entire event after it. We're not risking the whole brand on bad coffee.”
Fresh-poured at the finish from a local roaster we're genuinely excited about. Coffee partner announcement coming soon.
I'm genuinely not a runner. Will I feel out of place?
“Friend, this event was built FOR you. The runners are the guests here.”
Most of the field walks some or all of it. It's a social morning with a start line — music, cornhole, coffee, and zero athletic judgment.
“Get roasted… then get running.”
