Rise & Run 5K

Friday, January 1, 2027Bradenton, FL5K

Kick off your 2027 with purpose at the 4th annual Rise & Run 5K, a community-focused New Year’s Day celebration held at Tom Bennett Park in Bradenton. This flat, road-based course is designed to be accessible for everyone, welcoming runners, walkers, and families with strollers alike. Beyond the race, participants can enjoy a festive atmosphere complete with a selfie wall, music, and unique "Why I Rise" themed medals. The event emphasizes team spirit, offering a special prize for the largest group to encourage collective participation. By joining, you also support a meaningful cause, as 10% of all proceeds benefit Selah Freedom to aid survivors of human trafficking. It is the perfect way to set a positive tone for the year ahead while connecting with fellow community members.
