Fort Lauderdale A1A 5K Presented by Publix

The Fort Lauderdale A1A 5K features a picturesque run through Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, http://www.floridastateparks.org/hughtaylorbirch. Conveniently located right off of State Road A1A on Sunrise Blvd, Birch State Park is a hidden secret for many of the residents of Fort Lauderdale. The 5K course is ideal for both runners and walkers. If you're looking for a last minute training run before the Marathon or Half Marathon, then this is the event for you. Miles 5 & 6 of the Marathon & Half Marathon take place in the park, so you will get a glimpse of the course.

Fort Lauderdale A1A Fun Run Presented by Publix



Date - 11:45am, Sunday, Feb. 17, 2013

The The Fort Lauderdale A1A Kids Fun Run is an event where 'Everyone is a Winner'! We created this event to offer children an opportunity to participate in the weekend activities. The participating Kids will start from Mile 25 of the Marathon course and tackle the final 1.2 miles, finishing in the same chute that our adult runners go through. The link below for the Marathon course offers a guideline to locate Mile 25. Additionally, there will be a Mile 25 Marker sign on the course. Parents are welcome to run or walk alongside their children. The only rule that we ask everyone to follow is to be aware of the Marathon runners or walkers still on the course. The remaining athletes will be tired and will not take kindly to children or parents running in front or around them! :-) So let's offer them the space they deserve as they finish their run!
