6th Annual Out Run Hunger 5K

Race morning finds the streets quiet and cool as participants gather for this annual event. The atmosphere is one of anticipation with a mix of familiar faces and new runners eager to support their community. The marina's water views provide a picturesque backdrop, adding to the charm of an already inspiring day.
This year marks the sixth edition of Out Run Hunger, which has grown significantly since its inception in 2021. Last year saw over 500 participants come together to run and walk for a common cause: fighting hunger. Proceeds from this race will fund efforts that aim to provide 440,000 meals across the region, highlighting the importance of community involvement.
The course begins at Causeway Cove Marina and follows a USATF certified route through downtown Fort Pierce's streets before returning to the marina for an exhilarating finish. Runners can expect a challenging yet rewarding journey on hard and dry surfaces that are perfect for this time of year. The terrain includes gentle curves and occasional inclines, making it suitable for both seasoned runners and newcomers.
Starting at 7:00 am sharp, participants must be present by the start line closing at 7:10 am to secure their spot in the race. A detailed map will ensure you can explore every twist and turn of this route before race day. While there are no aid stations planned for this year's event, water bottles will be available throughout the course.
The weather on September 26th is expected to feel like a warm but comfortable 27.2°C with an average wind speed of 10.5 km/h and humidity levels at 81.1%. Expect some cloud cover that may bring light rain, so wearing waterproof gear or carrying a small umbrella might be wise.
