Great Sports Foundation 5K

Get ready to celebrate the extraordinary in the ordinary at the 2026 Average Joe Run 5K, taking place on Sunday, October 4, 2026. Set against the stunning backdrop of Tropical Park in Miami, Florida. Whether you are a seasoned sprinter or a casual stroller, this event offers a scenic, sun-drenched route along the beachside path, perfect for soaking in the coastal vibes while you get your miles in.

​What truly sets the Average Joe Run apart is its unique approach to competition. While the event honors the swift with awards for the top 3 male and female overall finishers and winners across various age groups, the most coveted prize goes to the "Average Joe" and "Average Jane." In a fun twist, the person who finishes exactly in the middle of the pack is crowned the ultimate champion, proving that you don't have to be the fastest to take home the top honors.

​The fun doesn't stop at the finish line, as the race provides a post-run celebration filled with unlimited donuts and coffee. Every participant is treated like a VIP, receiving a personalized race bib, a high-quality dri-fit event shirt, and a spectacular finisher medal to commemorate their achievement. It’s a morning designed for community, laughter, and a little bit of sugar—making it the "World’s Easiest 5K" for anyone looking to have a great time.
