Run Manatee - Rye Preserve 5K - 2026

Part of the RUN Manatee 5k series, this event is held at Rye Preserve, 905 Rye Wilderness Trail, Parrish, FL. The main events are a 5K run/walk presented by Run With Purpose Nutrition and a short fun run. The 5K route runs around ponds and uses mixed terrain including grass, crushed shell and asphalt. The preserve trail system passes through four ecosystems: sand pine scrub, xeric oak scrub, oak hammocks and the river community. A water stop is provided along the route.

Event programming on the day includes a warm up session led by a local fitness trainer and a yoga cooldown led by a local instructor. Event entry, warm up, yoga and the fun run are free; pre-registration is required for the 5K portion. Included with 5K registration is a dri-fit event T shirt and a custom finisher medal. Shirt sizes are guaranteed for registrations completed by midnight on 10/30/26; sizes are limited thereafter.

This event is part of a series of three Run Manatee 5Ks. Ten percent of registration fees will be donated to Foundation for Dreams, which operates Dream Oaks Camp within Rye Preserve. Packet pick up occurs on November 18 and 19 at Run With Purpose Nutrition and on November 20 at G.T. Bray Park, with a packet tent at Rye Preserve on race day.
