About This Event
Run, walk, skip, or ride in a stroller, THIS is the most Foolish fun you will have ALL year at a race event!!
At the Fools Run, the only thing we take seriously is HOW MUCH FUN you are going to have!
We are SUPER excited to be back at our home location- Maxine Barritt Park!!! Just kidding!!! Casperson Beach is destroyed!! We’ll be at Legacy Park/ Train Station!
Be sure to follow our Facebook page to be up to date on all the shenanigans!! https://www.facebook.com/FoolsRun5k
The run will be held April 3rd, 2027 at Legacy Park, with a chip timed start at 8am!
Your finishing time will be texted or emailed to you based on what you have set up through RunSignUp, so make sure you put the right info, like yours, not your ex's cousin's info, they don't care how fast you are. But do run fast, because you know that those Fools over at Gulf Breeze Apparel are sure to come up with some sort of baller awards, so be ready to run as fast as your little legs will go! And of course, ALL finishers WILL receive a Foolish finisher's medal! Because who wants to run a race and not get a medal?! We're totally going to feed you and give you some drinks as well, Chick-fil-A Pelican Plaza will be filling those grumbly tummies, yummmmm.
Can't make it out to run with us in person, but you still want the awesome race swag?! Join our Virtual event and we'll mail you the swag approximately 2 weeks after the live event.
