Race Description
On July 12, 2025, the inaugural Run Manatee 5K event will take place at Coquina Beach in Bradenton Beach, Florida. This community-focused event encourages participation through a scenic 5K run/walk along the beach's asphalt trails, offering a chance for residents to engage in fitness and celebrate the local environment. Warm-up sessions and yoga cooldowns will complement the run, creating a festive atmosphere for participants of all ages and activity levels.
As part of the Run Manatee series, the event aims to support local non-profits, with 10% of registration fees donated to Chastenation, an organization that enables kids with different abilities to enjoy outdoor activities. Participants registering for the 5K will receive a dri-fit event T-shirt and a custom medal upon completion. The event will also feature local vendors, food, and family-friendly activities, ensuring there is something for everyone, even those who are not participating in the run.
