St. Mykolai Day & 5K Festival

St. Mykolai Day & 5K Festival takes place in Hollywood, Florida, on December 6, 2026. The main event is a 5K of 3.1 miles at 8:00 AM, followed at 9:15 AM by the Angel Kids Dash over 200 meters for younger participants. Pairing a timed 5K with a short children's race and a festival built around the day makes it an easy morning to bring the whole family to.

South Florida in early December means mild running conditions, and a flat coastal-plain 5K is a reasonable place to look for a fast time. If a personal best is the goal, work in one tempo run and one interval session each week for four to six weeks, then ease off for the final three days. If you are running it for the occasion rather than the clock, an 8:00 AM start still leaves you the whole day at the festival afterward.
