Old Town Trolley Tours and INK! (Investing in Kids) present the 9th Annual Jail Break 5K on Saturday, October 25, 2025 at 8:00 a.m.

At this Halloween event, runners "escape" from the authentic Old Jail and race across the Vilano Bridge to the Atlantic Ocean. Runners of all ages and abilities are welcome, and everyone is invited to dress up for the occasion. There's plenty to do for non-runners too with post-race festivities that include a costume contest sponsored by the Ghosts and Gravestones Tour.

Whether you're into marathons, half-marathons, themed runs, or chasing a new personal record during 5K and 10K races, St. Augustine has a full schedule of races for your next challenge.

Admission: Tickets range from $25.00 to $45.00 depending on registration date. Register online.

When: Saturday, October 25, 2025, beginning at 8:00 a.m. with a jail break after party from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at the Old Jail.
