CityHouse River Run 5K - Run For A Reason

CityHouse River Run 5K - Run For A Reason is held in Boca Raton, Florida, on December 5, 2026, and is organized by CityHouse. The main event is the CityHouse River Run 5K, open to runners and walkers over 3.1 miles, starting at 7:30 a.m. A Kids Fun Run follows at 8:30 a.m., giving families a way to include younger children after the adults have finished. As the subtitle Run For A Reason suggests, the race is tied to a charitable purpose.

A 7:30 a.m. start in South Florida keeps temperatures manageable, and a flat coastal 5K is an accessible distance whether you are walking with friends or racing for a time. For runners aiming to go fast, arrive early enough for a 10-minute jog and a few strides, then hold back slightly in the first mile so you can finish stronger than you started. For walkers and first-timers, the goal is simply to enjoy the distance at a steady pace. The hour between the two starts means parents can complete the 5K, recover, and then accompany their kids to the fun run.
