Get ready to unleash your inner Florida spirit at the Florida Man 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run, hitting Jacksonville, FL, on Saturday, April 4, 2026. This uniquely themed event, held at Veterans United Brewing, promises a memorable day of running and revelry for participants of all ages and abilities.

Runners in the chip-timed 5K will tackle a three-loop course, while those opting for the 1 Mile Fun Run can enjoy a more relaxed stroll. Both distances kick off with packet pickup starting at 3:30 PM and races at 5:00 PM, leading into an unforgettable post-race party. Typical race day conditions in early April feature pleasant highs around 79°F and lows near 60°F, with only a 10% chance of rain, making for comfortable running weather.

Beyond the run, the Florida Man 5K stands out for its lively atmosphere. Participants receive a custom finisher medal, a stylish Florida Man T-shirt, and a complimentary draft beer from Veterans United Brewing to toast their accomplishment. The celebration continues with "Florida Man" themed games, a "Dollar Store Door Prize game," and a highly anticipated contest for the best-dressed "Florida Man" and "Florida WoMan." With live results, text updates, and free downloadable race photos, this event truly captures the fun-loving spirit of Florida.
