Hope & Honor 5K

Hope & Honor 5K is held in Fort Myers, Florida, on January 9, 2027, with one start at 8:00 a.m. It is a road 5K, run and walked on the same course, and the single distance keeps the morning short.

Three miles at the start of January is the right size of goal for a lot of runners: far enough to require some consistency, short enough that missing a week of training does not ruin it. If you are training toward something longer this spring, drop it into your week as a hard effort and keep the rest of your running easy around it. Runners hoping for a specific time should practice starting fast enough to be uncomfortable by the half-mile mark, because a 5K rarely rewards a cautious opening.
