About the 11th Annual Be Bold 5K
This is a new-year 5K in Jacksonville put on by Bold City Health, built around the idea of showing up for yourself at the start of a new year. The organizer's focus is health and personal growth, so the field tends to include people at every pace, from walkers to runners chasing a personal best. Families cross together; first-timers finish alongside returners.
Packet pickup runs the morning before the race, with an early race-morning option as a backup for those who cannot make the prior day. The event is organized by Bold City Health, whose tagline points toward community health rather than competitive running, so the start area reflects that.

Going by the 2026 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.
