Veterans Memorial Bridge 5K

Veterans Memorial Bridge 5K takes place in Palm City, Florida, on November 14, 2026, with a 5K Run (3.1 miles) starting at 7:00 AM. The Palm City Chamber is behind the event, and the name ties the race to the Veterans Memorial Bridge, the local landmark it celebrates a few days after Veterans Day.

If the course crosses the bridge, expect at least one climb, and that changes how you should run a 5K. Rather than going out hard, hold an even effort, not an even pace, so that the incline costs you less and you can use the descent to recover speed. Adding a short hill session every week or two in the month before race day will make that feel natural. First-timers can prepare with six to eight weeks of walk-run sessions and should not worry about the clock. The 7:00 AM start calls for an early, light breakfast and a warm-up jog of ten minutes before you line up.
