The 5th Annual Save Our Planet - Recycle 5K returns to T.Y. Park in Hollywood, Florida on Sunday, June 14, 2026, once again bringing runners together for a meaningful and sustainable racing experience under the warm sun of early summer.
As you approach T.Y. Park that morning, the crisp air carries with it the scent of blooming flora from nearby gardens and parks, setting an inviting tone for what promises to be a vibrant day of community spirit and environmental awareness. The rolling hills of South Florida provide a picturesque backdrop, where runners will navigate through winding paths and shaded trails, surrounded by lush greenery and the occasional glimpse of shimmering waterways that crisscross the park.
Since its inception five years ago, this 5K has grown not only in size but also in significance. Last year saw over 1,000 participants join forces to raise funds for local environmental initiatives through a race that emphasizes sustainability at every turn. Top finishers will once again receive awards from Victory Sports Management, while the event's unique approach to swag—offering mystery recycled shirts and medallions collected from past events—continues to inspire both runners and spectators alike with its commitment to reducing waste.
The route of the Save Our Planet - Recycle 5K winds through T.Y. Park’s scenic trails and paved pathways, weaving around several notable features such as the serene lakefront areas where participants can catch a glimpse of local wildlife. The course is designed for both competitive runners aiming for personal bests and casual joggers who appreciate the scenic beauty along the way. With chip timing in place by Victory Sports Management, every step counts toward accurate results.
Runners should expect typical June weather with temperatures hovering around 26.9°C (feels like 26.9°C), a slight breeze at an average of 10.1 km/h, and humidity levels sitting comfortably high at about 81%.
