USA Beach Running Championships

The USA Beach Running Championships, held in Cocoa Beach, Florida, features 5K and 10K races run entirely on hard-packed sand during low tide. Open to all runners and walkers, no qualifications are required, and participants can choose to run barefoot or with shoes, as each distance includes a barefoot division. Runners receive themed bibs and sea creature-inspired finisher medals.

The event fosters a festive atmosphere with a post-race awards ceremony and beach party featuring live music, champagne, and mimosas.
