Be There! 5K 2027

The Be There! 5K is a morning 5K held at the Miami-Dade County Fair & Exposition in Miami, coinciding with the opening weekend of the Youth Fair. It begins at 7:30 a.m. from the fair’s main entrance, giving the race a feel distinct from a standard road run, offering an early passage through the fair before the crowds arrive. The route crosses Tamiami Park, enters the fairgrounds, and guides runners past rides, concession stands, exhibits, and the midway, concluding on Main Street within the fairgrounds. Participants receive a medal, shirt, bib, and one Youth Fair admission for opening weekend. Proceeds benefit the Youth Fair Scholarship Program.
