Keeper Days 5K

Lace up your running shoes for the Keeper Days 5K, a vibrant 3.1-mile run/walk set to take place on Saturday, January 31, 2026, in the charming coastal community of Lighthouse Point, FL. This beloved local event, presented by the Lighthouse Point Recreation Committee, offers participants a scenic tour through the city's beautiful neighborhoods, starting and finishing at Frank McDonough Park. The course promises a flat, enjoyable experience on street sidewalks, winding through picturesque residential areas with a single hydration station available along the route to keep runners refreshed.

The Keeper Days 5K is more than just a race; it's a celebration of Lighthouse Point and its "Keepers," offering a festive atmosphere for all ages, including a dedicated category for kids 12 and under. Typical race day conditions in late January provide ideal South Florida running weather, with historical highs around 77°F and lows around 61°F, alongside a minimal 10% chance of precipitation. Runners will appreciate the post-race bottle of water and access to portable restrooms at the start/finish area.

A unique highlight of this event is its integration with the larger Keeper Days Parade, which commences shortly after the race concludes. Participants have a generous 90-minute window to complete the 5K, after which they are encouraged to move to the sidewalks to enjoy the ensuing parade festivities. All proceeds from the Keeper Days 5K directly benefit the Lighthouse Point Recreation Department, making your participation a stride towards supporting local community programs.
