SeaMonkey Christmas in July 5K

Embrace the unexpected warmth of holiday cheer at the SeaMonkey Christmas in July 5K, a festive run/walk set to take place on July 25, 2026, in sunny Bradenton, FL. This unique 5K offers a refreshing twist on summer running, inviting participants to dash through the scenic, shaded paths of GT Bray Park. The course features a two-loop design across a varied terrain of pavement, dirt paths, and grass, all clearly marked for an enjoyable experience. Expect a vibrant atmosphere with a pre-race warm-up, snow at both the start and finish lines, and strategically placed icy cool-off zones along the route to combat typical race day conditions, which usually see highs around 92°F and lows around 75°F with a 32% chance of precipitation.

Beyond the festive decor and cooling stations, the SeaMonkey Christmas in July 5K promises a truly memorable event. All finishers will be awarded custom medals, while the top male and female runners will receive championship belts. The event is also dog-friendly, welcoming leashed canine companions to join in the fun, though participants with dogs are asked to start towards the back of the pack. As you complete your holiday-themed miles, you'll be contributing to a great cause, as a portion of all proceeds benefits the PACE Center for Girls.

Gather your friends and family for a spirited summer celebration that combines fitness with holiday spirit. With food vendors, local shops, and a lively community atmosphere, the SeaMonkey Christmas in July 5K at GT Bray Park is more than just a race; it's a festive gathering designed for all abilities.
