About

The Running Wild 5K - Melbourne, FL takes place in Melbourne, Florida, on September 26, 2027. It sticks to a single format, a 5K (3.1 miles) road race starting at 7:30 a.m., an early start that limits exposure to the Florida heat.

The 5K remains the most approachable distance, whether for a first race or a shot at a personal best. For a first race, six to eight weeks of three easy runs a week is enough to reach the start line with confidence. To chase a time, add a session of short intervals over 400 or 600 meters and arrive well rested in the final days. With such an early start, it is worth moving a few training runs to sunrise to dial in your wake-up and breakfast.
