Semper Fi 5k
The Semper Fi 5k is a charity running event held in Downtown Pensacola, Florida. The course starts and finishes at Seville Quarter, near 130 E Government St, Pensacola FL 32502. The event offers a 5 km run and a 5 km walk, plus separate active duty military categories that require ID.
Registration details vary by category. General run and walk registration opens January 12, 2026 and closes September 1, 2026 with a listed fee of $25. Active duty military registration opens January 12, 2026 and remains available through November 7, 2026 with a reduced fee of $20; active duty entries require proof of service.
The event began as a fundraiser for children affected by a 1983 Marine Corps tragedy and later directed proceeds to nonprofit children’s organizations in the Greater Pensacola area. Local military units and JROTC groups commonly participate, sometimes running in formation. In 2014 leadership of the race moved to a Marine Corps League detachment.
Packet pickup and late registration take place the day before at Running Wild, 3012 E Cervantes St, Pensacola, and on race day at Seville Quarter. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
