5K preteky v blízkosti Foley

Bras Across the CAUSEway 5K & Festival is a timed 5K run or walk held at USS ALABAMA Battleship Memorial Park in Mobile, Alabama, beginning on Battleship Parkway. The event also includes a family-friendly 1-Mile Fun Run, a virtual participation option, and a shirt-only purchase to support the cause. It functions as a community fundraiser for Bras Across the CAUSEway, directing funds to local breast cancer patients via a patient assistance program. The course is straightforward according to public information: the main race is a 5K starting at the battleship park, with runners and walkers participating on the same morning. The festival aspect provides a more relaxed, local atmosphere, encouraging costumes, allowing leashed dogs, and featuring treats from Mobile-area merchants. Its fundraising is direct: proceeds assist patients with costs for gas, groceries, copays, uncovered medical bills, rent, utilities, and other essential needs. The event has taken place for ten years, and local businesses contribute as “Giverbackers,” receiving promotion beyond race day.

Pensacola Half Marathon & 5K patrí do série pretekov RunPensacola na pobreží Mexického zálivu na Floride. Z Gulf Breeze to organizuje Gulf Coast Event Group. V rámci série sú cestné preteky pre rôzne úrovne, či už si chceš dať half marathon, ak máš chuť na dlhší kus, alebo 5K, ak ti stačí kratší pretek. RunPensacola sa sústredí na miestnych bežcov a komunitnú akciu, nie len na elitu. Organizáciu založil Adam Guess, BJ Price riadi preteky a Nathan Swafford má na starosti časomieru. Prihlášky sa dajú prepísať na iného človeka alebo presunúť na podobný pretek, ak sa to vybaví aspoň dva týždne pred štartom. Preteky sa konajú aj v daždi, ale blesky alebo extrémne počasie môžu plány zmeniť, pričom novinky budú na Facebook stránke série.

Prodisee Pantry Turkey Trot štartuje pri Daphne City Hall v centre Daphne, Alabama, kde si môžeš zabehnúť 5K pretek alebo 1 Mile Fun Run na certifikovanej trati. Tento jesenný komunitný beh podporuje Prodisee Pantry, potravinovú banku v Baldwin County, ktorá už vyše dvadsať rokov pomáha ľuďom v okolí s jedlom a priamou pomocou. Najprv štartuje 5K, potom Fun Run. Takže si prídu na svoje bežci, čo chcú čas, aj rodiny, ktoré radšej kratšiu vzdialenosť. Trať je priamo v centre Daphne, nie niekde na odľahlej ceste. Charakter preteku vychádza z toho, koho podporuje. Prodisee Pantry začínala s dobrovoľnou distribúciou jedla a teraz pomáha obyvateľom Baldwin County pravidelnými distribúciami v Spanish Fort a Stockton. Rodiny už túto banku využili vyše 221 000-krát, aby dostali jedlo. Medzi jej dobrovoľníkov patria mládežnícke skupiny, občianske združenia, školské kluby, cirkevné skupiny a miestne firmy. Turkey Trot ponúka tejto komunite jednoduchý formát preteku: buď bežíš, alebo ideš pešo, stretneš sa pri City Hall a podporíš miestnu potravinovú banku, ktorá sa sústredí na jedlo, povzbudenie a priamu pomoc pre rodiny, ktoré to potrebujú.

Magnolia Run začína a končí pri Jesse’s Restaurant v Magnolia Springs, Alabama. Hlavnou črtou je USATF-certified 5K trať. Toto každoročné podujatie má jednoduchý formát: 5K run, 5K walk a 1 Mile Fun Run. Chodí tam okolo 300 účastníkov, má to takú komunitnú atmosféru, nie ako tie veľké mestské preteky, a v pohode môžeš ísť aj s kočíkom alebo so psom. Na 5K sú vekové kategórie, plus "overall", "masters", "grand masters", "senior grand masters" a "wheelchair" kategórie pre mužov aj ženy. Chodci majú tiež vlastné vekové kategórie a tí, čo idú "fun run", dostanú medaily. Časť z každého štartovného ide na podporu The Sea Glass Initiative. Po pretekoch bude jedlo od Jesse’s Restaurant a vyhlasovanie výsledkov bude vnútri v Magnolia Springs Community Hall.

The Semper Fi 5K is a Pensacola-area charity run with Marine Corps origins, held annually for over four decades. It started as The Beirut Relief 10K Run, established to support children and families of Marines and Sailors lost in the Beirut barracks bombing. Over 500 military and civilian runners participated in the inaugural event, which raised more than $4,000 for a Marine Corps scholarship fund. The published course information only specifies the greater Pensacola area, meaning the participants and purpose reveal more than a notable route. Local active-duty military units and high school JROTC groups run in formation with civilian participants. Marine 1stLt Chris Holzworth initially proposed the race, MATSG-21 adopted it, and the Marine Corps League later took it over with TEL Staffing & HR as a partner. Proceeds now benefit local children's nonprofits and other Pensacola-area charities, having raised nearly $725,000. Each year's race honors a distinguished veteran, maintaining the event's connection to Marine Corps service and local philanthropy.

The Pensacola Beach Turkey Trot is an annual 5K on Pensacola Beach, Florida, run on Thanksgiving Day. It is a short road race tied to the holiday, with a beach setting and a field that is large for a local 5K. More than 1,000 runners and walkers participate each year, including people from across the United States. The event is family-friendly but still allows for competitive racing, and its proceeds support brain cancer research through the Robert Tisch Tumor Center at Duke University.

Pensacola Turkey Trot 5K má štart aj cieľ na Seville Square v Downtown Pensacola, Florida. Tento 5K beh na Deň vďakyvzdania ráno si môžeš buď zabehnúť alebo prejsť, štart je o 8:00 a.m. CST a do pol desiatej by malo byť po všetkom. Za RunPensacola, ktoré organizuje Gulf Coast Event Group, stojí Adam Guess ako zakladateľ, BJ Price je riaditeľom pretekov a Nathan Swafford má na starosti časomieru. Trať prechádza cez Downtown Pensacola a vracia sa na Seville Square. Vďaka tejto trati sa celé preteky sústredia na jedno historické verejné priestranstvo. Chodci sú oceňovaní rovnako ako bežci – ceny sú pre celkových víťazov, masters, grandmasters, vekové kategórie a, samozrejme, aj pre najlepších chodcov. Pozávodné stretnutie je tiež na Seville Square, kde bude jedlo, občerstvenie, vyhlásenie výsledkov v pavilóne a BYOM tradícia, kde si účastníci prinesú vlastný nápoj na pozávodnú oslavu.

The Coastal Half Marathon, 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run is a post-Thanksgiving race weekend in Orange Beach, Alabama. It offers three distances: a half marathon, a 5K, and a 1-mile fun run. The half marathon is for runners age 15 and up; the shorter events are suitable for families and mixed groups. The races utilize paved sections of Gulf State Park’s Backcountry Trail, avoiding busy beach-road running. The course winds through the coastal park landscape near Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. This event marks its 19th running and embraces its holiday timing. Participants often attend after Thanksgiving, running with family or friends, and conclude near the Gulf air, rather than making the race a separate trip.

The Sea Turtle & Sweetheart Running Festival is a beach-side running event in Gulf Shores, Alabama. All races start and finish at The Hangout on East Beach Boulevard. Runners can select the Sea Turtle Half Marathon, True Love 10K, Sweetheart 5K Run/Walk, or Be Mine 1 Mile. This variety accommodates those seeking a timed longer race and those preferring a short run or walk by the beach. The half marathon begins first, followed later in the morning by the 10K, 5K, and mile. All four races are timed, and awards are available for competitors. The Hangout also hosts the post-race party. Each registration includes food and beer tickets; beer is restricted to participants aged 21 and over. The race names reflect both the sea turtle theme and the Valentine’s timing, lending the festival a more relaxed, social atmosphere compared to a standard single-distance road race.
