Prepare for a memorable running adventure at the Viking 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, and Marathon, set to conquer Homestead, Florida, on February 28, 2026. This US Road Running event, held at Homestead Air Reserve Park, offers a fantastic opportunity to push your limits across multiple distances, from a swift 5K to a full 26.2M marathon. With typical race day conditions seeing comfortable highs around 81F and lows around 58F, and only a 6% chance of precipitation, you can expect a pleasant environment for your race.

The Viking Races feature a straightforward yet engaging experience on a fully paved, out-and-back course. Runners will navigate this flat terrain, with the 5K completing one loop, the 10K two, the Half Marathon four, and the Marathon tackling eight loops. This design provides a consistent surface for all participants, whether you're aiming for a personal best or enjoying the journey. The race kicks off at 8:30 AM, with convenient packet pickup available 30 minutes prior to the start, and bathrooms located at the front of the parking lot for runner convenience. A generous 6-hour course time limit ensures ample time for all marathoners and half marathoners to reach the finish line.

Beyond the challenge of the distances, the Viking Races add a unique element of fun with finisher medals for all participants and a lively best costume contest. This makes for a festive atmosphere, encouraging runners to embrace the "Viking" spirit in their race day attire. All registrations must be completed online via RunSignup, as there is no on-site registration. Join fellow runners for a day of achievement and camaraderie in the heart of Homestead.
