Run with a Purpose

The Palmetto Marriott Resort & Spa is set to come alive on Saturday, May 31 at 8:00 AM for the Palmetto Miles: Summer Kickoff, a 5K fun run focused on community connection, movement, and giving back.

Hosted by Fit2Run, The Runner’s Superstore, the event is designed for runners and walkers of all levels and will feature a variety of on-site activations to keep the energy high and the experience unforgettable.

Run with a Purpose

The Humane Society of Manatee County will be on-site throughout the event, accepting donations and sharing information about their life-saving work. Participants will have the chance to learn how they can help make a difference, whether through donations, fostering, or adoption. 

What to Expect on Race Day

Before the run begins, Elite X Fitness will lead participants through a group stretch to help everyone warm up and feel race-ready. The local Brooks Running rep will also be on hand, offering shoe demos and exciting giveaways for runners.

After the 5K, participants are invited to stick around and enjoy the scenic setting at The Yard at Palmetto Marriott, the resort’s outdoor gathering space. With refreshments, music, and community spirit, it’s the perfect way to kick off the summer season.
