Vilano Bridge 5K & 10K Run
120 Meadow Ave, St. Augustine
30th Annual Scenic Vilano Bridge Run: 5K, 10K, and 1 Mile Fun Run
COME TO RUN, STAY TO PLAY!
Thirty years. One iconic bridge. An unforgettable morning in Vilano Beach. Be part of the tradition. Join us in celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Vilano Bridge Run—three decades of community spirit, coastal beauty, and one of Northeast Florida’s premier race mornings.
The Vilano Bridge 5K & 10K kicks off at the Vilano Beach Community Center and Park, winding through the charming coastal community before crossing the landmark Vilano Bridge with sweeping, panoramic views of the Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic coast. The 10K course continues through the historic, picturesque grounds of the Florida School for the Deaf & the Blind. Right after the main events, our family-friendly 1-Mile Fun Run invites kids, walkers, and supporters of all ages to join the action.
Both races finish at North Shores Recreation Park, where a lively post-race celebration awaits with food, cold drinks, and family activities. Come and shop for new run wear! Every registration directly supports vital projects throughout the Vilano and North Shores communities, as well as special initiatives at the Florida School for the Deaf & the Blind.
- T-Shirt Note: Guaranteed shirts are available for participants registered by March 13th.
Registrants after this date may select from legacy shirts from previous years while supplies last.
Run the tradition, soak in the coastal views, and celebrate 30 years of the Vilano Bridge Run!
