5K preteky v blízkosti Navarre

CMSAF Binnicker Memorial Run sa koná v Shalimar, Florida, v októbri. Sú tam 9K beh, 5K beh, 5K chôdza a 1 Mile Fun Run. 9K a 5K štartujú o 8:00 CDT ráno, a fun run začína o 30 minút neskôr. Ak nemôžeš prísť osobne, máš možnosť ísť aj virtuálne – pre 9K, 5K beh a 5K chôdzu. Celá akcia je na pamiatku CMSAF Jamesa C. Binnickera a podporuje oddelenie pre starostlivosť o pamäť v Hawthorn House, ktoré patrí pod zariadenie pre asistované bývanie Air Force Enlisted Village. Hawthorn House sa stará o vojenské vdovy, dôchodcov, veteránov a ich rodinných príslušníkov, ktorých postihol Alzheimer a demencia. Celý výťažok z pretekov ide na starostlivosť a podporu týchto obyvateľov. Prvých 300 prihlásených na 9K a 5K dostane pretekárske tričko a challenge coin. Ráno sa zakončí hudbou od DJa, jedlom, nápojmi a vyhlásením výsledkov.

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.

Pink Pirate's 5K for Breast Cancer is a 5K run and walk in Navarre, Florida. The race begins at the Navarre Beach boat ramp parking lot on Gulf Boulevard. This breast cancer awareness event is organized by Pink Pirates, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and has been held annually since 2013. The event accommodates both runners and walkers, catering to those who wish to race the distance and those who prefer a steadier pace to support the cause. The race supports a specific local purpose: funding mammograms for individuals unable to afford screening. Since 2013, Pink Pirates has generated over $180,000 for this initiative. Additionally, the event features a virtual 5K option, allowing supporters to participate remotely if they cannot attend in person on race day.

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.

SKECHERS Wicked Wine Run Pensacola je halloweensky večerný beh v Pensacole na Floride, kde si môžeš vybrať 5K alebo 10K trať. Tento beh patrí do série Wicked Wine Run, ktorá je známa tým, že všade podporuje kostýmy, a nájdeš ho aj v kalendári pretekov Run Pensacola. Všetci bežci aj chodci si užijú slávnostný večer, nejde o súťažný pretek pre elitu. Kostýmy sú vítané, po behu je ochutnávka vína a vďaka partnerstvám podporuje aj miestnu charitu. Za týmto behom stojí Running Wild, miestny bežecký obchod z Pensacoly, ktorý organizuje aj Run Pensacola, a preteky, ktoré vymysleli miestni organizátori, sú prepojené s tunajšou bežeckou komunitou.

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 Navarre Jingle Bell Run starts and finishes at the Navarre Main Fire Station, behind McDonald’s on Highway 98 in Navarre, Florida. It is a relaxed holiday 5K run/walk with shorter options, built for families, walkers, kids, strollers, and leashed pets rather than racing for times. The event is non-scored, has a one-hour course limit, and supports the Navarre Chamber Foundation’s Community Projects. The route goes through the residential streets of the Town Center on a very flat course, with “Shortcuts to Grandma’s House” for people choosing less than the full 3.1 miles. Each participant gets a jingle bell, holiday costumes are encouraged, and the most festive participant gets a special prize. The first 200 registrants get long-sleeve shirts, and the Fire Station also hosts packet pickup, post-race refreshments, and door prizes.
