Run for Wreaths - Martin

Run for Wreaths - Martin is held in Martin on November 7, 2026, with a single 5K distance starting at 8 a.m. The event is tied to Wreaths Across America, and the early start means the whole morning is finished before nine.

Three miles at eight in the morning in November is close to ideal conditions for running fast, provided you handle the cold sensibly. Arrive early enough for a fifteen-minute jog, keep a warm layer on until a few minutes before the gun, and do two or three strides so your legs are not cold when the race starts. As for training, a 5K is the most accessible distance on the calendar: a month of easy running three times a week gets almost anyone across the line running, and one weekly faster session gets you there quicker.
