Lace up your running shoes and leash up your furry companion for the Run With The Pack 5K, a heartwarming and exhilarating race taking place on Sunday, March 22, 2026, in scenic Jacksonville Beach, FL. This unique event, featuring both a 5K and a 1-Mile Fun Run/Walk, invites you and your four-legged best friend to hit the sands for a fantastic cause. Typical race day conditions in late March offer ideal running weather, with comfortable highs around 74°F and lows near 58°F, and only a 10% chance of rain, promising a pleasant experience for all participants.

Both distances begin and end directly on the beach near the iconic Jacksonville Beach Pier at 503 1st St N, offering a distinctive, flat, out-and-back course along the firm sand. This dog-friendly race provides an unparalleled opportunity to enjoy the picturesque coastal scenery as you and your pup sprint, jog, or stroll. The 5K is professionally chip-timed, with awards presented to the fastest runners across various age and gender categories. Packet pickup starts bright and early on race morning between 8:00 am and 9:00 am, with the race kicking off at 9:30 am.

Beyond the personal challenge and beautiful beachfront setting, every step taken in the Run With The Pack 5K supports Fur Sisters Furever Urs Rescue, an incredible organization dedicated to providing essential care and loving homes for dogs in need. Your registration includes a race shirt, a commemorative finisher medal, and a koozie to celebrate your accomplishment. The festivities continue post-race with a lively gathering at Lynches Pub in Jacksonville Beach, offering a perfect conclusion to a day of fitness, camaraderie, and giving back.
