Honor ALL of our Veterans with this annual 5K 10K and Kid’s Honor Runs for all ages at The Dunedin Veterans Day Runs on Sunday November, 8 2026, at 8:30 a.m.
We celebrate and run with the most patriotic runners who come to Dunedin, Florida to create what always becomes the best Veterans Day 5K, 10K, and kids HONOR runs in Florida where we will celebrate veterans from across the world who have served and are still serving the US military. We are proud to announce each of those you hold in your heart for this event so bring a post it or tell us their name and service when you arrive!
The race begins and ends across from downtown near the VFW (for great photo ops) at the Dunedin Hale Center 330 Douglas Avenue, Dunedin, FL 34698, directly across the street from Dunedin Stadium.
The finishers medals are all American themed and outstanding as this is a great way to commemorate those whom YOU LOVE who have served our great nation.
At 8:10 a.m. race management will call all children and parents out to the Pinellas Trail for a kid's dash. Children are separated by size and they are never out of sight for this adorable run. Have your cell phone video and camera ready. This run is a stroller friendly run for our first medalists of the day and parents are welcome to run with your kids and babies.
The 10K is a 2 loop course of the 5K route set for perfect 10K distance and popular to those runners training for larger or more competitive races. The 5K run/walk will begin also on the fully paved Pinellas Trail 2 minutes after the 10K AT 8:30 a.m.
All registrants will a receive a BEAUTIFUL and substantial American finisher's medal and top finisher’s framed awards are put out for the first 15 males and first 15 females to finish the 5K. All 5K and 10K runners will receive a RUN FLORIDA promotional shirt at check in. There is no shirt for the youth distances. Race results can be found later on race afternoon on our event website www.727CanRace.com
We do not post results at the venue in a deliberate attempt to maintain our laid back celebratory group of runners and walkers. Your times are gathered using the electronic race splitter timing system though we do continue to advertise this as a non-competitive running event. Pinellas county Sheriff's deputies will man the 4 way stop signs ialong the race route heading north out and back on the Pinellas trail which is fully paved and stroller friendly.
An email will be sent to all registrants the day prior to the event by 4 pm with your bib number assignment and parking and arrival instructions for an easy the check in on race day only. If you don not receive this email the day before the race by 4 pm please text Suzanne at 727-226-7223/727-CAN-RACE and we'll get it immediately over to a correct email address.
This is a co-sponsored event with the City of Dunedin so law enforcement will be positioned at each intersection along the fully paved Pinellas trail in an out and back course from the Hale Center heading north. Each of you will be running or walking through the most beautiful part of North Pinellas in downtown Dunedin, Florida.
Dunedin is the home to a fabulous VFW and American Legion that each of you will pass along the 5K route so please cheer back to any veterans who are outside cheering you on as this is our day to celebrate all those who have
Parking is free at the Hale Center as well as at the Dunedin Library. And email will go out the day before the race around 4 PM with your bib number assignment and final arrival instructions for a successful morning where we celebrate many who have served in all branches of the US military, law enforcement, fire rescue, and 1st responders
