TK 5K in Fernandina Beach
The TK 5K is a community road race held in Fernandina Beach, Florida, organized by a local skate park nonprofit. The event is presented in memory of a father who suffered a heart attack at the first skate event in 2016 and it precedes the annual skate festival at the same park. The course follows a route similar to the Shrimp Festival Run, with the final 100 yards on the same steps associated with the 2016 incident.
