On April 4, 2026, Fools Run 5K takes place at Legacy Park in Venice, Florida. Despite its name, the event offers a 1-mile distance rather than a traditional 5K. The race starts at 8:00 AM, giving runners an early-morning option before the Florida heat intensifies. Entry fees range from $35 to $50. This straightforward 1-mile format makes it accessible for runners of varying fitness levels or those using it as a warm-up effort before tackling longer distances elsewhere. Legacy Park provides a local venue for spring training during early April, when Florida weather is generally milder than summer months.
