From the Organizer
Running Zone Foundation welcomes you to the 21st annual Running Zone Foundation Run Brevard Race Series. The 2026-2027 series offers seven fun and family-friendly events including three 5Ks; one 3K and three 2-milers. We offer these shorter distances to promote participation among both walkers and runners of all ages and abilities.
If you register for the race series, your registration will then be imported into each of the 7 individual races. You can then manage your registration through your RunSignup profile and transfer from the in-person to virtual event and vice versa until about 10 days before each event.
Registration fees for the in-person and virtual events will be the same (there is an additional fee if you want your packet shipped to you for the virtual option). This facilitates easily switching between the two options and can be managed by you, the participant, through your RunSignup account.
Series Price- $210 ($175 without shirts or without medals, $140 without shirts and without medals)
Children 12 & Under- $140 ($105 without shirts or without medals, $70 without shirts and without medals)
