Broward County Public School Department of School Culture & Student Support 5K Presented By Broward Education Foundation

Broward County Public School Department of School Culture & Student Support 5K Presented By Broward Education Foundation is run in Hollywood, Florida, on October 24, 2026. The program lists a single 5K (3.1 miles) with a 7:30 a.m. start, an early gun that makes sense in South Florida, where the temperature and the humidity both climb quickly once the sun is fully up.

That climate is the thing to prepare for. Even in late October, a Florida morning can be warm and humid enough to slow your 5K pace compared with what you run in cooler air, so pace the first mile by effort and drink before you start rather than during a race this short. Runners visiting from cooler states should adjust their expectations rather than their training. For a local runner, a 7:30 a.m. 5K is a convenient hard session that leaves the rest of the weekend open.
