5KX - The HYBRID 5k
5KX is presented as "the 5K for the hybrid athlete" and is scheduled for October 3, 2026 in Palm Beach. The event centers on a 5K running distance combined with on-course fitness stations that focus on strength work rather than high-repetition endurance movements.
The format contrasts with many hybrid races that combine running intervals with high-rep exercises and cardio machines. 5KX retains running segments but places fitness stations that emphasize heavy barbells, free weights, and sand bags performed in low-rep ranges as tests of strength.
The event is organized into multiple divisions, including LITE, MID, and HVY, with individual and doubles categories and at least one coed doubles option. A public leaderboard is maintained for the various division categories. Organizers also produce a race partnership kit and seek brand partners to support the event.
