SeaMonkey Christmas in July 5K
SeaMonkey Christmas in July is scheduled for July 25, 2026 in Bradenton, Florida, with events centered at GT Bray Park. The in-person 5K uses a shaded two-loop course through the park, marked with cones and directional signage. The surface includes a mix of pavement, dirt paths, and grass. GT Bray Park will remain open to the public during the event. Leashed dogs are welcome; participants running or walking with dogs are asked to start toward the back of the pack.
Event options and distances:
- 5K in-person two-loop course through GT Bray Park
- 100 yards (0.25 mile) Kids Run at the same start and finish
- 5K Virtual option with mailed race packets
On-course and participant amenities include themed snow at the start and finish, an icy cool-off zone, a recovery area with ice baths, massage, and cool-down yoga, and a pre-race warm-up. All in-person finishers receive custom medals. Top overall male and female winners receive a custom championship belt, and the team with the most registered athletes receives a team championship belt. T-shirts are an optional add-on; to guarantee sizing, registration must be completed by July 1, 2026. Virtual participants receive mailed packets and can submit results and photos for inclusion in event posts. Race photos will be uploaded 48 to 72 hours after the event.
A portion of proceeds and all shirt-sale proceeds will be donated to PACE Center for Girls, which provides year-round academic and support services for middle and high school girls. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
