Devil Dog 5K & 10K Run/Walk

Lace up for a race with heart at the 11th Annual Devil Dog 5K & 10K Run/Walk on Sunday, October 4, 2026, in scenic Boca Raton, Florida. Hosted at the beautiful Burt Aaronson South County Regional Park, this event offers distances for everyone, including a 10K run, a 5K run/walk, and a 1-Mile walk, plus a Kids 1-Mile Race for younger participants. More than just a race, the Devil Dog Run is a powerful tribute that proudly supports the Wounded Veterans Relief Fund, providing crucial emergency financial assistance to qualified disabled veterans in Florida.

Runners will enjoy "scenic" courses winding through the park, with the main events kicking off bright and early at 7:30 AM EDT. Typical race day conditions in early October involve highs around 88F and lows around 76F, with an 18% chance of precipitation, so prepare for a warm Florida morning. The atmosphere is celebrated as both competitive and family-friendly, beginning with a lively salute featuring a bagpiper, mascot, and Color Guard leading participants to the start line.

Participants can look forward to a rewarding experience, with the first 1,000 registered runners guaranteed an exclusive event t-shirt, and the first 1,000 finishers of the 5K and 10K receiving a custom medal. Even 1-Mile walkers receive a finisher medal and race t-shirt. Top overall male and female finishers will be awarded a free pair of shoes from Fleet Feet Delray Beach, along with plaques and "awesome swag" for the first, second, and third place overall finishers in both categories. Beyond the finish line, the event transforms into a "party with a purpose," featuring live music, food, vendor tents, and engaging kids' activities, ensuring a memorable day for the entire family while honoring those who have served our country.
