Bank of America New Year’s Eve 5K Run/Walk
The event is a 5K run/walk that starts and finishes on A. Philip Randolph Blvd. in front of the Memorial Arena and follows a course into downtown and back. The race benefits Gator Bowl Charities. All participants receive an official race shirt and all finishers receive a custom-designed finisher medal.
Awards are presented to top overall finishers and to age-group placings. Prize categories include overall men and women, first place masters, and multiple age groups from 10 and under through 80 plus. The race is an official event in the Jacksonville Grand Prix; finishing runners can earn points toward the series, which distributes cash and prizes at the end of the season.
Entry fees for the 5K increase as the event approaches, with lower early-entry pricing and higher rates on race day. A $5 age discount is applied automatically for registrants 17 and under and for those 65 and over. Refunds are not offered.
Packet pickup is available at specified 1st Place Sports locations prior to race day, with unclaimed packets available at the race site. Food and drink will be available in the post-race area. A nearby brewery one block from the finish honors race bibs with one complimentary 5 ounce beer. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
