From the Organizer
Turn Up the Pace at Jacksonville's Most Electrifying 5K! 🎧🏃♀️🎶🏃♂️
Lace up your running shoes and get ready for a one-of-a-kind race experience! Starting and finishing at The Block in Jacksonville, Florida, this exciting 5K combines fitness, music, and community into an unforgettable event. Join us for our first Beats at The Block 5K sponsored by Community First Credit Union.
Led by Running DJ Elby, participants will be immersed in high-energy beats from start to finish as they run through the streets of Jacksonville. Whether you're chasing a personal record, jogging with friends, or simply looking for a fun way to get moving, the music will keep you motivated every step of the way.
Not a runner but want to be a part of the action? Join us for our Car to Bar .05K! This exciting course will take you all the way from your car to the bar where you get a free beer, race swag and official finisher hat.
But this race is about more than crossing the finish line. Proceeds from the event will benefit the American Cancer Society and Jacksonville's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer campaign, helping fund groundbreaking research, patient support services, cancer prevention programs, and resources for individuals and families impacted by breast cancer.
Feel the rhythm, embrace the energy, and enjoy a course designed to keep the party going from the starting line to the finish. After crossing the finish line back at The Block, the celebration is just getting started! Join us for an exciting post-race party featuring live music, great energy, food and beverages, and plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow runners and supporters. Guests can recharge and recover with refreshing Cold Plunge Party provided by Cool Culture, enjoy the festival atmosphere, and celebrate an evening of movement, music, and giving back. Whether you're cooling off after the race, dancing to the beats, or spending time with friends and family, the after-party promises fun for everyone.
What to Expect:
Whether you're running for a cause, competing with friends, or just looking for a unique Saturday evening experience, this event promises to be more than a race, it's a moving dance party through the heart of Jacksonville!
A huge thank you to all of our event sponsors that help to make this possible, please check out the sponsors page for more information.
