💸 Fundraising Success

Don's Friends merged their 5K race with Endless Summer 10 years ago and has enjoyed great success for the Runners and Both Charities. Over $200,000.00 has been raised in the past few years. This will be the 22nd Anniversary for the Endless Summer Runs and the 16th Anniversary for Don's Friends which started their 5K Run at St. Augustine Beach Pier in 2010. We will also have additional special gift items at the race.

🏖️ 10K Run Description

The 10K Run (6.2 miles) through Anastasia State Park's beach, hammock, and salt marsh takes you through some of St. Johns County's most beautiful terrain. The race begins near the Island Beach Shop and Grill with a beach loop followed by a long wood deck, pavement, dirt roads, and soil through the east nature trail and hammock loop. Runners will return to the pavement and then another trail to the marsh loop. The last leg of the run brings the runners back down the main park road to the finish line at the Island Beach Shop and Grill.

👟 5K Run/Walk Description

The 5K beach run/walk start line is near the Island Beach Shop and Grill (same as 10K) and is mostly on Anastasia State Park's beautiful beach with the same finish line as the 10K. Both the 5K and 10K are timed for a low tide. Both Runners and Walkers are welcome for the 5K event.

🌐 Virtual Runs

We’ve added VIRTUAL Runs for the 5K and 10K. Both have been very Popular. The Virtual Runs are on the Honor System. You can run on your own schedule. There is no need to prove your date or time.

🛍️ 0.0K Option

This is for those who don’t want to run but want that turtle shirt. By signing up for the 0.0K, you keep slots open for those who want to run since the races have limited slots available.

🚗 Parking and Timing

Because of chip timing and course layout there will be less parking available in Anastasia State Park so please try to carpool. Both runs are Chip Timed and we have a Great Finish Line Video. The Race Video is available FREE of charge.

🏅 Finishers Medals

Our New Large Finishers Medals featuring our Beautiful 2025 Turtle will be given to ALL that complete the 10K or 5K, at the finish line. If you are running the Virtual Runs, you will receive your Turtle Finishers Medal in your Race Packets.

📅 Packet Pickup
