Event Description

Join us for the 2nd Annual Manatee 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run 

Experience the beauty of the First Coast with this unique beachside 5K in Neptune Beach! The race begins at the iconic Beaches Town Center, where runners will head onto the sand for an out-and-back course along the shoreline.
