GRR Hart Bridge Practice Run to Benefit Sombrero Outreach Foundation and Runners4Recovery

Lace up for a challenging and charitable 5K at the GRR Hart Bridge Practice Run, taking place on Saturday, February 28, 2026, in Jacksonville, Florida. This unique event offers runners the exclusive opportunity to conquer the "Green Monster" – Jacksonville's iconic Hart Bridge – ahead of the main Green Road Race. Organized by PRS Running Club, this non-timed training run is perfect for those looking to experience the Hart Bridge's notable 6% incline and half-mile ascent, a distinctive elevation gain for Florida running. From the summit, runners can anticipate spectacular views of the city.

More than just a training run, this 5K is a chance to give back, with all proceeds equally benefiting two commendable local charities: Sombrero Outreach Foundation and Runners4Recovery. The race starts and finishes with convenient parking and check-in at the WJCT Parking lot located at 100 Festival Park Ave, Jacksonville, FL 32202. Typical race day conditions in late February offer pleasant weather, with highs around 73°F and lows around 54°F, alongside a minimal 9% chance of precipitation.

Whether you're gearing up for a personal best on the "Green Monster" or simply seeking a supportive community run with a scenic challenge, the GRR Hart Bridge Practice Run provides an engaging atmosphere. Join fellow enthusiasts to experience a memorable course and contribute to vital community causes.
