Last Mile

Last Mile is a sunset 5K run/walk starting at Seville Quarter in downtown Pensacola. It is designed as a family-friendly event, with runners and walkers covering the same distance. The race focuses on a straightforward local purpose: raising support and attention for safer streets and youth programs. The event honors the memory of Brien Pursell, remembered by his family and friends as someone who encouraged others to be their best and lived by the mindset of running his “last mile.” Local organizations partner with the race to link the day with street safety and youth initiatives, positioning the finish line within a broader community effort beyond just a timed 5K.
