Mimosa 5K

Mimosa 5K is held in Sarasota, Florida, on February 14, 2027. Despite the name, the featured distance is a Valentine-themed 2.14 miles (3.4 km), with a one-mile walk called Stroll, Sip, Repeat alongside it. Both start at 8:00 AM.

An odd distance is a gift to anyone who dislikes pacing math: there is no personal best to defend over 2.14 miles, so you can simply run it hard and see what happens. If you want to race it, treat it like a long 5K effort, warm up for fifteen minutes with a few strides, and hold a pace you could sustain for about twenty minutes. If you would rather take the mile walk, it needs nothing at all beyond showing up. With an 8:00 AM start, the whole thing is over early enough to leave the rest of the day free.
