Menendez Miler 5K Run/Walk

Lace up your running shoes for the scenic Menendez Miler 5K Run/Walk, set to take place on Saturday, May 9, 2026, in beautiful Key West, Florida. This engaging 5K event offers participants a unique opportunity to experience the island's charm while supporting a worthy cause: the Sunset Rotary Bobby Menendez Scholarship Fund. Starting and finishing at the picturesque Truman Waterfront Park near the historic Coast Guard Cutter Ingham, the course features three loops around the park, promising a flat and enjoyable journey for runners and walkers alike.

Participants can look forward to the vibrant atmosphere of Key West and the rewarding feeling of contributing to a local scholarship fund. Typical race day conditions in early May feature comfortable temperatures, with highs around 86°F and lows around 74°F, accompanied by only a 10% chance of precipitation, making for ideal running weather. All 5K runners and walkers will traverse the same inviting course. The first 100 entrants will receive a complimentary T-shirt, and awards will be presented to the overall male and female winners, Masters male and female winners, the top two male and female finishers in each 10-year age group for runners, and the top two male and female walkers.

The Menendez Miler 5K Run/Walk is more than just a race; it's a chance to immerse yourself in the Key West community spirit, achieve a personal best on a beautiful course, and contribute to educational opportunities. Packet pickup is conveniently available the day before the race, Friday, May 8th, from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM at Truman Waterfront, with race day pickup and check-in also available starting at 7:00 AM at the same location.
