5K-Läufe in der Nähe von Delray Beach

The Devil Dog 5K & 10K Run/Walk begins at South County Regional Park, west of Boca Raton in southern Palm Beach County. Participants can choose between 5K and 10K run/walk distances, with additional Kids K and virtual race options available. This variety accommodates competitive runners, casual walkers, families, and those wishing to contribute remotely. The race derives its name from "Devil Dog," a Marine Corps moniker, and is organized by Marine veteran Wade Waddick. The event's primary goal is to benefit the Wounded Veterans Relief Fund, which offers emergency financial assistance to eligible disabled veterans in Florida and addresses gaps in dental care. For nine years, race proceeds have supported this fund. A recent edition raised $104,000, and organizers anticipate over 1,000 participants. Top finishers will receive plaques, merchandise, and shoes from Fleet Feet Delray Beach, while all participants get custom medals. The significant draw, however, is the community's support for local veterans, with friends, families, businesses, and service-oriented runners participating to aid injured veterans during difficult times.
