Lace up for an unforgettable seaside experience at the 2026 All Day Running Co. Clearwater Marathon and Running Festival 5K, taking place on Saturday, January 24, 2026, in stunning Clearwater, Florida. This popular event invites runners to explore America's #1 beach town, offering a picturesque out-and-back course that starts and finishes within Sand Key Park. Runners will be treated to breathtaking panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico and the Intracoastal Waterway as they cross the iconic Sand Key Bridge to Clearwater Beach and back, with the early morning start often coinciding with a beautiful sunrise over the water. While generally flat, the course features a challenging yet rewarding incline over the bridge, adding a dynamic element to your run.

Runners can anticipate an impeccably organized event, complete with a water stop around miles 1 and 2, which you'll pass twice, ensuring hydration. Upon crossing the finish line, celebrate your accomplishment with a well-deserved finisher's medal and enjoy post-race refreshments at the beach party. For those seeking an extra challenge, the "Clearwater Combo" allows participants to run the 5K on Saturday and then tackle a longer distance on Sunday, earning a special third medal to commemorate the dual achievement. Typical race day conditions in late January are ideal for running, with highs around 70°F and lows around 52°F, and a minimal 10% chance of precipitation, providing a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere.

Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply soaking in the incredible scenery, the All Day Running Co. Clearwater 5K promises a scenic and memorable racecation. Expect spectacular views, a well-supported course, and a lively finish line atmosphere at Sand Key Park, easily accessible with ample metered public parking.
