The Passavant-Gatorade 5K/10K is the longest consecutive running competitive race in Jacksonville. This year is our 23rd anniversary.
Both courses are USA Track and Field (USATF)-certified. Runners should be prepared for a P.R. as the course is mainly flat and fast! The race begins and ends at Passavant and is run through mostly residential areas on the city's west side. This year we debut a new, faster 5K course. 5K and 10K participants run together until the 1.25 mile mark, where the 10K runners head south and then west for an out and back and the 5K runners head east to the finish line.
Both races qualify for the SRRC's (Springfield Road Runner's Club) Participation Point Series.
Proceeds go to the New Directions Warming and Cooling Center. New Directions assists
displaced “homeless” persons in Jacksonville and the surrounding area
with their emergency shelter needs.
