Alzheimer's 5K presented by CanesWear

Alzheimer's 5K presented by CanesWear takes place in Davie, Florida, on November 1, 2026. The single distance on the program is a 5K on the road, and it starts early, at 7:30 a.m.

Starting that early is worth planning for: get up in time to eat something small a couple of hours out, and keep the warm-up short but real, with ten easy minutes and a few strides before the start. The 5K is the most accessible race distance there is, equally suited to a first attempt and to a hard speed test, and it costs almost nothing in recovery afterwards, so it slots into a training week without forcing you to reshape the rest of it. Four to six weeks of steady running, three times a week, is enough to prepare.
