2026 Labor Day 5K presented by ON

The 2026 Labor Day 5K presented by ON returns to Miami, Florida on September 5th, marking the second race in our Holiday Trilogy series. This year’s event is a celebration of hard work and community spirit as runners gather along the scenic streets near Go Run Kendall for an early morning start under the warm South Florida sun.
The route takes participants through familiar neighborhoods where palm trees line both sides of the road, casting welcome shadows during the early hours of Labor Day. As dawn breaks over Miami’s skyline, a gentle breeze carries with it the sounds of local life: distant chatter and the soft hum of city activity that gradually builds into an energetic buzz as more runners arrive to join in this traditional day of recognition for laborers everywhere.
This year marks another milestone in what has become a beloved annual tradition. Since its inception, the Labor Day 5K has grown not just in participation numbers but also in community significance, with hundreds joining each year to support local causes and enjoy camaraderie on race morning. The event raises funds for various charitable initiatives that reflect Miami’s commitment to giving back, ensuring every step contributes positively to the city's vibrant social fabric.
The course itself winds through a mix of paved streets and park paths near Go Run Kendall, offering runners an engaging blend of urban scenery and natural greenery. With its flat terrain, the 5K route is designed for all levels of experience, featuring clearly marked mile markers that guide participants along their way to the finish line back at the starting point where family and friends cheer them on.
On race day, temperatures are expected to hover around an average high of 27.6 degrees Celsius with a notable humidity level adding some extra challenge to the morning run. Participants should prepare for conditions that might feel slightly warmer due to these factors, making it crucial to hydrate well both before and during the event.
