About the 2026 Vero Beach unite4answers 5K Run/Walk and 1 Mile Walk
The course runs at Vero Beach Regional Airport, so expect wide open pavement with flat terrain and long sightlines. There is nothing technical here, just a straightforward route on airport grounds, open to the sky. The race benefits a foundation focused on Chiari malformation and syringomyelia research, so the field tends to draw people with a personal connection to the cause.
Early packet pickup is the evening before at a local brewery, which makes race morning a little easier. The start area is at the airport itself, with an awards ceremony following shortly after the finish. Food and drink are available after the race.
