About the 6th Annual Martin County NAACP 5k/10k Run/Walk

The course runs through Memorial Park along the St. Lucie River in downtown Stuart, with water views and shaded paths throughout. It is a waterfront setting, so the morning air tends to be pleasant even in late summer. The race benefits the Martin County NAACP, and that purpose is visible in how the event is organized and who shows up.

Packet pickup happens the evening before at a local running store, with a second option at the park the following afternoon. Race-morning pickup is also available. The course has a water stop at the start and finish area and another at the midpoint, but bottled water is not provided, so bring your own hydration.

Common Questions About the 6th Annual Martin County NAACP 5k/10k Run/Walk

Will I finish last at the 6th Annual Martin County NAACP 5k/10k Run/Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 40:04, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:11:18, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 6th Annual Martin County NAACP 5k/10k Run/Walk a good first 5K?

It is a small race (63 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the 6th Annual Martin County NAACP 5k/10k Run/Walk?

The 5K winner ran 19:32 while the median finisher took 40:04. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
