North Palm Beach Links 5K

North Palm Beach Links 5K takes place in North Palm Beach, Florida, on October 31, 2026, at the North Palm Beach Country Club. The 5K run/walk, 3.1 miles, starts at 7:30 a.m., and the one-mile Monster Mile follows at 8:30 a.m. The route runs through the golf course, with shaded stretches and views of the Intracoastal, and there is a costume contest, music, food and a finisher medal at the end.

Running through a golf course means the surface changes more than it would on a road race, so shoes with a bit of grip make more sense than racing flats, and expect the ground to cost you a few seconds a mile. Take the early start seriously and arrive in time to jog and loosen up before 7:30. Families can pair the two events, with the 5K first and everyone together for the mile an hour later.
