5K-Läufe in der Nähe von Upper Grand Lagoon

The Pursuit of Honor, Courage and Commitment 5K Run/Walk is a 5K held annually on the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk in Hollywood, Florida. It begins in the early morning from Charnow Park, offering participants the choice to run or walk the 5-kilometer distance. The course is a beachside broadwalk, with Charnow Park serving as the race's starting and ending point. The event's name reflects a service-oriented theme, and it has reached its twelfth year.

The Copper Collar 5K begins in downtown Panama City, Florida, at Harrison Avenue and East 4th Street. This 3-mile running and walking event is presented by the Man in the Sea Museum with the Naval Diving and Salvage Training Center, and has been a local race since 1982. The route is a fast, flat run through the historic downtown area, a change from earlier versions that used base roads and the trails of St. Andrews State Park. The race, which began with the Naval Diving and Salvage Training Center, honors military diving heritage. It gets its name from the copper diving helmets worn by Navy divers. Runners, walkers, military supporters, and those interested in underwater history are welcome. The event also supports preservation work tied to that history.

The 30A 10K Thanksgiving Day Races offer a family-friendly turkey trot in Rosemary Beach, featuring a 10K, 5K, and 1-mile run/walk on Thanksgiving Day. The event accommodates various participants: runners can compete in the 10K, while walkers and less experienced runners may opt for shorter distances. The 10K is also accessible to children aged six and up. The series is organized by a 501c3 nonprofit and has generated over $1 million for local charity partners that assist families and children facing hardship. The event provides more than just a start and finish line: participants receive a commemorative shirt and medal. The post-race gathering includes breakfast, a DJ, local vendors, and complimentary Mimosa and Bloody Mary bars.

The Gobbler race series begins at 8:00 AM from the Conservation Park Trailhead in Panama City Beach, Florida. Participants can select a 5K, 10K, half marathon, or marathon, all originating at Conservation Park, 100 Conservation Drive. Registration must be completed via RunSignup prior to race day; there is no on-site registration. Packet pickup is available only from 30 minutes before the start until 10 minutes before the start. The 5K and 10K events utilize a 3.11-mile out-and-back course. 5K runners complete this loop once, while 10K runners complete it twice. The half marathon and marathon courses use a distinct 3.28-mile out-and-back route. The half marathon requires four repetitions of this loop, and the full marathon requires eight. All distances have a 6-hour time limit. The course structure is straightforward, featuring repeated loops starting from the same trailhead.

The Powerade Panama City Beach Marathon starts and finishes at Pier Park, with runners completing a 26.2-mile race along Panama City Beach’s Gulf Coast. The event takes place in December and features a full marathon, half marathon, 5K, wheelchair races for the marathon and half marathon, and a Kids Fun Run. The participants range from competitive marathoners to families and novice runners. The certified marathon course is a Boston Marathon qualifier, and the race utilizes professional timing with RaceJoy tracking for spectators. The course is looped, centered around Pier Park and Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville, rather than a remote start or point-to-point finish. Thousands of local residents and visitors attend the race, which organizers call a Panhandle staple. Finishers in the full marathon, half marathon, and 5K receive medals, runners get a race shirt, and most aid stations provide GU Energy Gel while supplies last. After the races, Margaritaville hosts a post-race party with beer and gumbo. A portion of race proceeds benefits a local nonprofit organization.
