Old Highway 5K

Old Highway 5K is held in Islamorada, Florida, in Monroe County, on November 14, 2026. The main event is a 5K (3.1 miles) on a course with views of the water, and a junior race is also offered so younger runners can take part in the day. No start time is published in the listing, so keep an eye on the event details as the date approaches.

A road 5K by the sea is an appealing way to close out a fall season or to try racing for the first time. Beginners can prepare in eight weeks with three short runs per week; regular runners can sharpen with strides and a weekly session of 400-meter repeats. Run the first mile conservatively and use the scenery as a distraction rather than a reason to slow down. If you are bringing a child for the junior race, plan the morning so the two events fit together and you are not rushing between them.
