Get ready for the 2026 South Florida Sunset Challenge, taking place on April 18, 2026, at the scenic Vista View Park in Davie. This unique event breaks the mold of the typical early-morning race by kicking off in the late afternoon, allowing athletes to compete while the Florida sky transforms into a stunning tapestry of colors. Whether you are looking to push your limits or enjoy a leisurely pace with friends, the sunset backdrop provides an unparalleled atmosphere for a community fitness celebration.

​Participants have the exciting opportunity to choose between two main events: the Duathlon and the 5K Run/Walk. For those who want the ultimate test of endurance, the challenge even offers the flexibility to participate in both events. Every registrant is treated like a pro, receiving a personalized race bib equipped with an RFID timing chip for precise results, a commemorative event shirt, and a beautiful finisher medal to celebrate their achievement at the finish line.

​The South Florida Sunset Challenge is designed to be a true family affair, where all ages are welcome and encouraged to join the fun. From competitive runners chasing a personal best to families enjoying a twilight stroll, the event fosters an inclusive environment of health and wellness.
