Full Send 5k Presented by Sapp's Elite Run Club

Full Send 5k Presented by Sapp's Elite Run Club takes place in Port St. Lucie, Florida, on January 16, 2027. A single distance is on the program, a 5K, and it goes off early at 7:00 AM.

A club-run 5K in mid-January is a useful marker: it is short enough that you can race it hard without disrupting a training block, and it gives you a current time to base your paces on for the rest of the winter. If you are chasing a personal best, warm up thoroughly, start at a pace you can hold rather than one you can survive, and aim to run the second half no slower than the first. If this is your first race at the distance, the goal is simpler: run the first mile comfortably, then decide what you have left. Either way, a 7:00 AM start means arriving well before dawn traffic.
