Hearts of Valor 5k & Health Expo

Hearts of Valor 5k & Health Expo takes place in Tampa, Florida, on February 6, 2027. The 5K walk/run (3.1 miles) starts at 9:00 a.m. and doubles as a Valentine's Day celebration of heart health and community, with a health expo attached to the event.

The walk/run framing is deliberate here — you are as welcome to cover the 3.1 miles at a walking pace as to race it, and the expo means the morning is worth staying for either way. If this is your first organized event, the 5K is the right entry point: the distance is short enough that you can finish it on a base of a few weeks of walking or easy jogging, and long enough to feel like an accomplishment. If you already run, a 9:00 a.m. start gives you time for a full warm-up without a pre-dawn alarm.
