Lace up your shoes for the 4th Annual Education Empowerment 5K, a vibrant community event set for Saturday, March 28, 2026, in beautiful Vero Beach, Florida. This inspiring 5K takes participants through the scenic Riverside Park, offering a picturesque backdrop for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities. The course, typically flat and fast, is ideal for those chasing a personal best or simply enjoying a refreshing morning run. Race day conditions usually bring comfortable temperatures, with typical highs around 80°F and lows around 59°F, and only a 10% chance of rain, making for excellent running weather.

The Education Empowerment 5K kicks off at 8:30 AM EDT, with pre-race activities and late registration opening at 7:15 AM at Riverside Park. Runners can also take advantage of early packet pickup the day before at Chelsea's Gourmet. Beyond the miles, this race is a powerful stride towards a brighter future, benefiting three vital non-profit organizations—Educaccess, Seek the Lamb, and Crossover Mission—all dedicated to improving children's access to education. Participants can look forward to a stylish race t-shirt (guaranteed for registrations by March 1st) and delicious post-race food and beverages, along with an awards ceremony celebrating top finishers across various age groups, masters, and the fastest co-ed teams. Join the community in this empowering event, celebrating health, education, and collective spirit in the heart of Vero Beach.
