The SPORT SPECTACULAR 5K & 10K celebrates how running helps every sport and every sport helps running.
Whether you're a runner, soccer player, basketball lover, volleyball athlete, or part of any sports community, this event brings athletes of all backgrounds together for a fun and energetic morning at the beach.
Running builds endurance, strength, and mental focus. Qualities that benefit every sport. At the same time, cross-training through other sports can make us stronger, faster, and healthier runners.
This event is designed to celebrate that connection while encouraging everyone to stay active, try new sports, and build community through movement.
Caren Ware Events are designed for Every BODY and EVERYBODY — welcoming runners, walkers, families, and athletes of all abilities.
Expect great energy, creative themes, and one of the BEST themed race experiences around!
• Youth and adult sports programs
• Local clubs and teams
• Coaches and instructors
• Fitness and cross-training opportunities
Before the main race, join us for some playful sports-themed activities at our EXPO
If you’re looking to discover a new sport, improve your training, or connect with your local sports community, the expo is the perfect place to start.
