About
MLK Jr. Freedom Run 5K/10K/13.1 TAMPA takes place in Tampa, Florida, on January 16, 2027, one stop on a national calendar honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The half marathon (13.1 miles), the 10K, the 5K and a one mile family fun run all start together at 7:30 a.m. Chips are not used, which keeps the event open to runners and walkers alike. Entry includes a bib, a shirt, a finisher towel and a medal, and a virtual option is available.
Walkers are genuinely welcome at an untimed event, and that is worth saying plainly: the 5K and the 10K are both walkable in a reasonable morning. For runners, the half is the one that requires planning, roughly twelve weeks with a long run every week and the discipline to keep the other days easy. Whichever you choose, the shared start time means a group of mixed ability can travel together and meet again at the finish.
