St. Patrick's 5K and 10K-Pompano Beach

St. Patrick's 5K and 10K-Pompano Beach runs in Pompano Beach, Florida, on March 6, 2027, with two distances on offer: a 10K and a 5K. Start times are not listed. The route is a city course that passes through a public park, flat in the way South Florida roads tend to be, with no technical difficulty to speak of and a St. Patrick's theme giving the morning its festive edge.

An easy, flat course is an invitation to chase a time, and both distances suit that. For the 5K, sharpen with one weekly session of short repetitions and run the second half harder than the first. For the 10K, the discipline is starting slower than feels right, since the damage from an aggressive opening mile only shows up after four. Newer runners will find the open park sections a comfortable place to settle in, walk breaks included.
