Sprint For Sight 5K

Lace up for a meaningful morning at the Sprint For Sight 5K, an annual event dedicated to supporting the Brevard Association for the Advancement of the Blind (BAAB). Taking place on Saturday, October 3, 2026, in picturesque Indian Harbour Beach, Florida, this 5K run and walk promises a scenic experience for participants of all abilities. The race kicks off at 7:30 AM from the beautiful Gleason Park, offering a "great beachside location" to enjoy as you complete the course. While specific elevation details are not provided, the "scenic route" through a park and beachside area suggests a generally flat and enjoyable run or walk.

Beyond the picturesque setting, the Sprint For Sight 5K stands out for its inclusive atmosphere and community focus. It’s an opportunity to not only challenge yourself but also to contribute to a vital cause, empowering individuals with visual impairments in Brevard County. Runners can anticipate a celebratory finish line experience, complete with free refreshments and an awards ceremony. Commemorate your participation with an annual Sprint for Sight T-shirt (though sizes cannot be guaranteed after September 10th), and don't miss the chance to win fabulous prizes and participate in a grand prize drawing. Awards are presented to the top overall male and female finishers, top masters (40+), and importantly, to the top three visually impaired participants, reinforcing the race's commitment to accessibility.

Packet pickup and late registration will be available the day before the race at Running Zone in Melbourne, with a final opportunity for packet pickup on race morning at Gleason Park.
