About this race

Featured by Runner’s World as one of the Best 5Ks to Run this Summer. 

Details:

Back for our 37th year!

Runners and walkers enthusiasts can test their skills and celebrate Ernest Hemingway’s sporting lifestyle by joining us in the Conch Republic on July 25-26, 2026 during the in-person Hemingway 5k Sunset Run/Walk! The athletic challenges are part of Hemingway Days, a six-day commemoration of the life and work of the author who lived and wrote in Key West for most of the 1930s.

All participants will start and finish at the iconic Southernmost Point buoy!  Be sure to plan to spend time at our famous after party on the beach! 

Don't Forget to Run or Watch the Beer Mile on Sunday!  The most fun event of the week-end!  12PM.
