Get ready for a cool twist on summer running at the SeaMonkey Christmas in July 5K Fun Run/Walk on July 25, 2026!
Join us in Bradenton, FL for a festive two-loop course through the shaded paths of GT Bray Park. Beat the heat with plenty of tree coverage, snow at the start and finish line, and a refreshing icy cool-off zone along the course.
Participants will enjoy a pre-race warm-up led by Coach Ray from Prosper Bradenton, followed by a free recovery zone featuring ice baths and cool-down yoga.
A portion of all proceeds will be donated to PACE Center for Girls, supporting local middle and high school girls with guidance, resources, and opportunities to thrive.
All finishers will receive custom medals, while the top overall male and female winners will take home a custom championship belt. The team with the most registered athletes will earn ultimate bragging rights — and the team title belt.
Stick around after the race to enjoy food vendors, local shops, and a fun, family-friendly atmosphere. Leashed dogs are welcome.
Athletes of all abilities are encouraged to participate. Whether you’re running, walking, or pushing your limits, we’re here to support and encourage you every step of the way.
