COPPER COLLAR 5K — The Original Heavy Metal 5K
Hosted by the Man in the Sea Museum & the Naval Diving and Salvage Training Center:
Downtown Panama City, Florida
Get ready to lace up and dive into history with the Copper Collar 5K, a legendary race making waves since 1982! Originally created by the Naval Diving and Salvage Training Center, this iconic run has traveled through Navy base roads and the trails of St. Andrews State Park for decades.
Now in our second year downtown, we’re bringing that same deep-sea tradition to the heart of Panama City—combining fast streets, local energy, and the rich heritage of military diving.
🌟 2026: A Special Celebration — America’s 250th Birthday!
As the nation commemorates 250 years of American independence, the Copper Collar 5K proudly joins the celebration. This year’s race honors not only the legacy of military divers but also the spirit, courage, and resilience that have shaped our country since 1776. There’s no better way to kick off America’s 250th than with a run that honors service, history, and community.
💪 Why “The Original Heavy Metal 5K”?
The Copper Collar pays tribute to the iconic copper diving helmets worn by Navy divers—symbols of grit, endurance, and the spirit of exploration. Whether you’re a runner, a supporter of our military, or just looking for a meaningful way to get active, this event has something for everyone.
🎽 Participants Receive:
Chip‑timed 5K run or walk
A fast, flat course through historic downtown Panama City
Commemorative race shirts and gift bags
Awards for top finishers
Post‑race celebration with music, refreshments, and museum exhibits
The chance to support the Man in the Sea Museum and its mission to preserve America’s underwater history
🎉 Join us as we honor the past, celebrate the present, and run toward the future—Copper Collar style.
Celebrate America’s 250th birthday with us!
If you’re unable to attend but would still like to support the Man in the Sea Museum, please consider clicking the Donate button on our website.
