The Melbourne Art Festival 5K Flamingo Run will be held Saturday, April 24th starting at 7:30 a.m. The 5K Flamingo Run is the largest 5K race in Brevard County and has established the reputation as one of the best executed and most fun runs in Central Florida. As the opening act for the annual Melbourne Art Festival, this premier event will host over 1500 runners and walkers for the 23rd annual run. The proceeds from the race are used to promote and encourage artistic endeavors, education, and appreciation in Brevard County. Come join us for a great time and a great cause.

The USAT&F certified course starts in Historic Downtown Melbourne and continues across the Melbourne Causeway Bridge and returns to the start. You will run the Melbourne Causeway Bridge twice!!  Recent times can be found at the links on this website.  Course records (per our available records) and last years overall winners are:

After the race, runners can enjoy a huge spread of mouth-watering treats including an array of fresh fruits, breads, juices, sandwiches, and all the bottled water you can drink as part of a spectacular post race celebration that is unequalled on the race circuit. For those daring runners, complimentary beer is also provided after the run. Included in the festivities is a DJ spinning everyone's favorite tunes, therapeutic massage services, and a killer raffle with prize give-aways that are always a crowd pleaser.

The Melbourne Art Festival will continue the tradition of custom awards that are the envy of every runner and will be given in several categories including overall, master, team challenge and in 11 age groups. Results will be posted on this website and in Florida Running & Triathlon Magazine and Space Coast Runners Newsletter.
