Salty Soul Splash Dash

Salty Soul Splash Dash is run in Dunedin, Florida, on Saturday, November 28, 2026, with a single 5K starting at 8:00 a.m. One distance and an early start keep the morning uncomplicated, and on the Gulf coast of Florida an 8:00 a.m. gun is the sensible way to beat the warmth that arrives later in the day even in late November.

This is a road 5K, so bring your regular trainers. Florida's flat terrain makes 3.1 miles here a good setting for a personal best if you have been doing some faster work; if you are visiting from a colder part of the country, hold back slightly in the first mile because the humidity is deceptive. For a first-time racer, a month of easy running three times a week gets you to the finish. Hydrate before the start and again afterward, more than you would for the same effort up north.
