The Downtown Dunedin Summer 5K At HOB Brewing Company For All Ages And Abilities Of Runners and Walkers

Prepare for a fantastic summer experience at The Downtown Dunedin Summer 5K on Sunday, June 14, 2026, setting off from the vibrant HOB Brewing Company in Dunedin, FL. This beloved 5K invites runners and walkers of all ages and abilities to enjoy a community-focused event that prioritizes fun and camaraderie over fierce competition. The course itself is a highlight, featuring a fully paved, out-and-back route along the picturesque Pinellas Trail, renowned for its flat terrain and scenic views. While the trail remains open to the public, police and volunteers are stationed at crossings to ensure safety, encouraging participants to stay alert and enjoy the journey.

Embrace typical race day conditions, with highs around 90°F and lows around 75°F, and a 22% chance of precipitation. Should the heat be particularly intense (over 89 degrees), a flexible 1-mile option is available for transfer on race morning, ensuring everyone can participate comfortably. The start and finish lines are conveniently located at HOB Brewing Company, which serves as the hub for the post-race celebration. Here, participants aged 21 and over can redeem an armband for a complimentary craft beer, accompanied by a custom HOPS finisher's medal and a "RUN FLORIDA Dunedin Running" shirt. The festivities also include a free kids' dash, making it a truly family-friendly affair where strollers and well-behaved dogs are welcome (with a request to start at the back of the pack).

This event, organized by experienced race management since 2004, is known for its laid-back atmosphere and commitment to unity. While electronically timed with the RaceSplitter system, results are not posted on-site to maintain the celebratory vibe, with times available online later in the day. Beyond the finish line, you'll find restrooms, a bag check, and light snacks at the venue. Free parking is conveniently located at the Artisan Parking Garage, just a short walk from HOB Brewing Company. Participate in a memorable summer 5K that supports teens from Dunedin High School and celebrates the vibrant spirit of Dunedin.
