<p>The Dominican Independence Day 5K is a community-centered run celebrating Dominican culture, heritage, and pride through movement, wellness, and connection.</p>
<p>Hosted in Orlando, this in-person community run brings people together to honor Dominican Independence Day while uplifting and supporting local Hispanic-owned businesses.</p>
<p>Participants are invited to run or walk the 5K (3.1 miles) at their own pace, welcoming runners and walkers of all experience levels. The event begins with a group meet-up at Águila Coffee, followed by post-run cafecito and bites as we gather in community.</p>
