THE 5K FLAMINGO RUN
KICKS OFF THE MELBOURNE ART FESTIVAL

The 26th Melbourne Art Festival 5K Flamingo Run will be held Saturday, April 27th starting at 7:30 a.m. The 5K Flamingo Run is one of the largest 5K races 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 (MAF), this premier event will host over 1700 runners and walkers for the 26th 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 race will start on Melbourne Ave. just west of the US-1 overpass. You will run along scenic Crane Creek to the Melbourne Causeway (one lane closed to traffic) for a spectacular view of the Indian River. A water stop marks the turnaround point to return over the bridge. Climb the last hill on Depot Drive, turn right on E. New Haven Ave. and race to the finish line located by the MAF stage. Last year's best times and records are below. Recent times can be found at the links on this website.

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 Timmy Vee playing everyone's favorite tunes and prize give aways that are always a crowd pleaser. Awards are provided in 11 age categories as well as for overall, master, and team challenge.
