Wreaths of Honor 5K Run/Walk

Hosted by Riverview Memorial Park Cemetery

Join us for the Wreaths of Honor 5K, a meaningful run/walk, where we come together to honor the brave men and women who served our country. With nearly 900 veterans laid to rest on these peaceful grounds, our mission is to ensure each one is remembered with a wreath placed at their grave this Christmas season.

Every race entry helps fund the purchase of wreaths through Wreaths Across America, with a heartfelt goal: a wreath for every veteran. Together, step by step, we can make it happen.

All participants will receive a commemorative t-shirt and a finisher medal as a thank you for supporting this special cause.

Whether you run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines, your support brings us closer to honoring every hero this holiday season.

About the 18th Annual Manatee Center 5K, One-mile, & Kids Run

2026 marks the 18th Annual Manatee Center 5K! This Run with a View gets bigger and better every year, we're including a ONE-MILE route again, as well as the Kids Run!

The 5K route is timed by Second Wind Timing. Overall 5K winners, Masters, and top three M/F in all age groups (grouped by 10 years) will receive awards. The first 350 walkers and runners to sign up for the 5k are guaranteed to receive beautiful finisher's medals to commemorate your accomplishment. All 5K registrants receive a Tech shirt (shirts guaranteed until February 28th)! ALSO: Kids 15 and under register for the 5k for only $25.

The one-mile route follows the 5K route but turns toward the beautiful Indian River Lagoon before crossing over Seaway Drive Bridge. This route is untimed and there will not be awards, but all registrants will receive tickets to the very popular runners drawing.

This race is a fundraiser for the Friends of the Manatee Center, which supports the operations of the Manatee Center in Fort Pierce. All proceeds stay local and are dedicated to enhancing environmental education through the Manatee Center, focusing on conservation and preservation of the Indian River Lagoon, an estuary of national significance, marine life within the lagoon, and the surrounding ecosystems.

The Friends of the Manatee Center is a 501 (c)(3) organization established to support and enhance environmental awareness, education, conservation, and stewardship of endangered species and natural resources fulfilling its mission through the Manatee Center.

As always, THANK YOU for your support and we look forward to seeing you on race day.

Fools Day 5k is a professionally-timed race for participants of all ages and abilities!

All participants will receive chip timing with live results, an individual results page and a race t-shirt and a finisher medal!
