Pensacola Seafood Don McCloskey 5K
Thanks to the running community for making the virtual Pensacola Seafood Don McCloskey 5K a huge success! The Pensacola Runners Association held this virtual race from September 27 to October 4, 2020.
The enthusiasm for the race was very encouraging. 346 people signed up for the race from local runners to out of state. Kudos to all who ran the virtual Seafood 5K. We loved hearing about your run on Facebook! The Martinez family ran/walked to celebrate Malley Martinez's 90th birthday. The oldest person participating was Dotty Walls, age 88 and the youngest participant, Hollis Martinez, just turned 2. Congratulations!
Thanks to Landrum and Ascend for encouraging their staff to participate in the virtual 5K. We are grateful to the many that gave donations to support our running association.
The Pensacola Runners Association will donate $5 for each registrant to Manna Food Bank. A special thanks to Subway of Gulf Breeze for offering coupons to our participants. We appreciate our past sponsors for support of our race in the previous years.
By Mona Schortmann Race Director
We donated over $1700 to Manna! Thanks to all who registered!

Run with us every Thursday evening at 6pm at the Gulf Coast Brewery for a 5K fun run and get your first beer on the house! Yes, that's right! Printed maps will be available at the brewery. After the run, each runner gets a free beer of choice and can play a variety of complimentary games such as Cornhole, Ping Pong, Checkers, and other ancillary games right there where the beer brewing and production takes place! To satisfy your hunger, there is also a food truck serving some delicious food for purchase! All runners, walkers, families or pet are welcome.
Gulf Coast Brewery is a micro brewery located in downtown Pensacola, FL. Come have a drink of local beer brewed on site!
