Fight Child Hunger 5K Run/Walk

Fight Child Hunger 5K Run/Walk takes place in Melbourne, Florida, on January 9, 2027, at 8:00 a.m. It is a single-distance charity event on the road, open to runners and walkers on the same course.

Races with a cause attached tend to draw a mixed field, from club runners to first-timers pushing strollers, so line up according to how fast you intend to run and you will spend less time weaving. For anyone new to racing, 3.1 miles is the distance where a run-walk approach still produces a satisfying finish, and six weeks of running three times a week is realistic preparation. If you already race regularly, an early-January 5K is a useful fitness check before you commit to a spring half marathon block.
