Event Description

Celebrate the New Year with an event of epic proportions!  Blingin' In the New Year 5K and Family Fun Run/Walk/Stroll is a great start to the night festivities with a 5K party run or one mile fun run along the neighborhood surrounding the entertainment district in Downtown Ft. Walton Beach.  The race starts at 6pm.  There will be several libation stations along the course!  Your entry fee gets you all the bling that you'll need for New Year's Eve such as glowing jewelry, hats and noisemakers.  There will be an afterparty at KC's Sandbar including beer, champaigne punch, soft drinks and food.  Then stay and enjoy fireworks at The Landing.  This is not a timed race and there are no awards!  Just a good time for the whole family!!

This is a rain or shine event, sorry, no refunds.
