Weston Fourth of July 5K Run/Walk - J45K

Kick off your Independence Day celebrations with a burst of patriotic energy at the Weston Fourth of July 5K Run/Walk - J45K! Set for Saturday, July 4, 2026, this beloved community event invites runners and walkers alike to experience a festive 5K winding through the heart of Weston, Florida. Starting bright and early at 7:15 a.m. from the Weston Town Center, near the iconic Bell Tower on Main Street, the early start helps participants get ahead of the typical South Florida summer conditions, which see highs around 91°F and lows around 77°F, with a 26% chance of precipitation.

This family-friendly 5K offers a scenic route around the vibrant Weston Town Center, providing an engaging backdrop for your Independence Day run or walk. What truly sets the J45K apart is its commitment to fun and comfort; every participant receives a well-deserved finisher medal and a commemorative race t-shirt. To combat the July humidity, runners rave about the popular "hook and ladder shower" at the finish line, a unique and refreshing way to cool down after completing the course.

More than just a race, the Weston Fourth of July 5K is a cherished hometown tradition, proudly sponsored by the City of Weston, the YMCA of South Florida, and the Weston YMCA Family Center. It's an opportunity to gather with friends and family, don your most spirited patriotic attire, and celebrate Independence Day in a lively, supportive atmosphere. Whether you're chasing a personal best or enjoying a leisurely walk, the J45K promises a memorable start to your holiday.
