On November 14, 2026, the Veterans Memorial Bridge 5K takes place in Palm City, Florida, at Jock Leighton Park. Despite the race's name, the actual event offered is a 1-mile run rather than a 5K distance. The race starts at 7:00 AM, giving runners an early morning option for race day. Entry fees range from $40 to $50. This short-distance event works well for runners looking for a quick morning outing before exploring the area or attending other commitments.
