Brianna Marie Foundation 5K

Brianna Marie Foundation 5K is run at Melbourne, in Brevard County, Florida, on February 27, 2027, starting at 8:00 a.m. There is one distance, a 5K (3.1 miles), open to runners and walkers alike. The event raises money for advanced fetal medicine and support for unborn babies and their families, and organizers lay on a range of safe, playful activities for children on site.

A charity 5K with a walking option and kids' activities is the kind of morning you enter as a family rather than as a solo racer. If you do want to race it, three to four weeks of short interval work is enough to sharpen the distance, and a proper warm-up matters more than extra mileage. If you are walking or bringing children along, start toward the back of the field so the faster runners can clear ahead of you.
