Bridge the Gap 5K

Bridge the Gap 5K takes place at West Palm Beach, Florida, on February 27, 2027, over a single distance of five kilometres (3.1 miles). The course crosses several of the city's landmark bridges, so the route mixes downtown West Palm Beach streets with open views over the water from the spans themselves. No start time is published, and no elevation figure is given.

Short and approachable, the race suits beginners and experienced runners alike, though the bridges are the detail worth preparing for: each one is a short climb followed by a descent, and running over them at even effort rather than even pace will serve you better than trying to hold your target split up the rise. A few weeks of short hill repetitions before race day is all the specific work this distance requires.
