What to expect

The DONNA Foundation runs the weekend, and it benefits the foundation's breast cancer work. The 5K now starts at the beach, where it used to start downtown, so older directions may be wrong.

Parking and getting there

Jacksonville Beach parking is a mix of city lots and metered street spaces, and it fills early on event mornings. With Athletes' Village opening at 6 AM or 6:30 AM, plan on rideshare or a very early arrival. The organizer posts course maps and road closure notes, so check those before race morning.

Same weekend elsewhere

Downtown has the Jacksonville Symphony's John Williams and Steven Spielberg concerts on February 5 and 6, and VyStar Arena has Greta Van Fleet on Saturday, February 6. Plan lodging and traffic with all three in mind.
