Lace up for an enchanting evening at the 15th Annual SendMeMissions 5K, taking place on Friday, May 1, 2026, in the charming Historic Downtown Wauchula, FL. This unique night race offers a memorable experience under the stars, with a 5K course winding through the heart of downtown. Beyond the main event, the SendMeMissions 5K is a community celebration, featuring a 1 Mile Fun Run and a Kids ½ Dash, ensuring runners of all ages and abilities can participate. What truly sets this race apart is its heartfelt mission: 100% of all proceeds directly benefit local and global mission efforts, supporting disaster relief, outreach projects, and mission trip scholarships.

The flat, paved streets of Historic Downtown Wauchula provide a fast and enjoyable course for the 5K, perfect for both personal bests and leisurely strolls. Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 88°F and lows near 61°F, alongside a low 10% chance of precipitation, making for a potentially pleasant evening run as temperatures cool. Hydration is key, and water stations will be readily available at the 5K start line and along the fun run routes to keep participants refreshed.

The festive atmosphere culminates at Heritage Park on Main Street, serving as both the finish line and the lively awards ceremony. Check-in and late registration are conveniently located at the Hardee County Courthouse. In addition to individual awards across numerous age groups, the SendMeMissions 5K fosters friendly competition with special team awards for the largest and fastest teams. Participants in the Kids ½ Dash, 1 Mile Fun Run, and virtual race options will also receive a commemorative keychain medal to celebrate their accomplishment.
