Event Overview
The Get Nothing 5K #023 - Dog Days Of Summer is a free community event held in Jacksonville, Florida. This evening race takes place at Cecil Field and serves as a final summer season run. The event is open to the public with no registration fees, though participants must register online and check in to receive a physical bib.
The race features a single distance:
- 5 km run/walk
Course and Logistics
Participants will run on a flat, mostly straight course described as very quiet. The start line is located approximately a half-mile walk from the parking area at Fretwell Park. This distance is covered as a group walk from the parking lot to the race start.
As a self-supported event, participants are required to bring their own hydration. Facilities such as toilets may not be available near the course, depending on the specific route used.
Timing and Participation
This is a timed event using gun start procedures, meaning the clock begins for all participants simultaneously upon the start command rather than when an individual crosses the line. Timing is performed manually, requiring participants to wear their bibs clearly on their front for identification.
The event follows a "get nothing" philosophy, meaning there are no medals, swag bags, shirts, or age group awards. However, for this specific edition, finishers may choose from remaining trinkets provided by donors. The race is open to all paces, including walkers, and includes a designated volunteer to finish at the rear of the group. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
