Join us for the First Coast "Racing with the Stars 5K!"

The First Annual Racing With The Stars 5K is destined to become one of the premier events in the city. Maybe even the G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Times)!

The 5K takes runners along the beautiful streets of Atlantic Beach beginning and ending in the Race Village at 143 Ahern Street, at the Beach.

To Benefit:

The race benefits the Beaches Fine Arts Series

  Since 1972, Beaches Fine Arts Series has offered people of North Florida the chance to enjoy world-class music and dance in an annual season of performances, all for free.

  Programming encompasses an eclectic blend of styles from classical to contemporary, jazz to world music and dance, and traditional to avant-garde.

  Their free award winning educational outreach programs for students of area schools serve thousands annually. Busing costs are covered by the BFAS.

  They also present art exhibits at their concerts and receptions featuring the work of exceptional visual artists from all over the region.
