Celebrate summer in the coolest way possible at the 2026 Popsicle 5K! On Saturday, July 18, 2026, runners and walkers will gather at the beautiful John Prince Park in West Palm Beach for a morning of fitness and frozen fun. Whether you're chasing a personal best or looking for a scenic stroll with the family, the lush trails of the park provide the perfect backdrop. The best part? Every finisher gets to reward their hard work with a cold, refreshing popsicle, with a wide variety of flavors available to help you chill out immediately after crossing the finish line.
While the popsicles are the stars of the show, the competition is just as sweet. We will be celebrating our fastest participants with special awards for the top 3 overall finishers and the top 3 in each age group. It’s a fantastic opportunity to test your speed, connect with the local running community, and enjoy a vibrant atmosphere filled with music and high energy. Don’t miss out on South Florida’s most refreshing race tradition—grab your sneakers and get ready to earn your treat!
