Rotary Runs The Beach

Rotary Runs The Beach takes place in Indian Rocks Beach, Florida, on March 6, 2027. Two formats share an 8:00 AM start: a 5K and a 1-mile (1.6 km) run/walk, which makes it easy for a family to enter together and finish within a few minutes of each other. No elevation figure is published for either course.

This is a road event in a small Gulf Coast town, and the pairing of distances is the useful part. Take the mile if you want a short, sharp effort, or if you are walking it with young kids; take the 5K if you are chasing a personal best or building toward a longer spring race. For the 5K, three runs a week for a month is enough preparation, with one of them including short faster segments so that race pace does not feel foreign on the day.
