SendMeMissions 5K Run/Walk

Lace up for an unforgettable evening at the 15th Annual SendMeMissions 5K Run/Walk on Friday, May 1, 2026, in the charming heart of Wauchula, FL. This beloved night race invites participants to experience the vibrant pulse of Historic Downtown Wauchula as the 5K course winds through its streets, offering a unique illuminated running experience. For those looking for shorter distances, a 1 Mile Fun Run and a Kids ½ Dash loop around the downtown area, ensuring fun for all ages and paces. The excitement culminates with a festive awards ceremony and celebration at Heritage Park on Main Street, where runners are greeted with water, Gatorade, granola bars, and bananas.

Runners can anticipate a relatively flat course through the historic downtown, making it an excellent opportunity for personal bests or a comfortable community stroll.
