Get ready to run for a greener future at the Save Our Planet - Recycle 5K Fort Lauderdale, taking place on Sunday, June 14, 2026, at the beautiful T.Y. Park. What sets this race apart from any other 5K is its creative, zero-waste approach to race day swag, which intentionally keeps costs exceptionally low for participants. In a passionate effort to do our part for the environment and ensure no unused items end up in local landfills, this event breathes new life into high-quality gear from past races.

​The sustainable surprises begin right at registration, where participants will get to choose a "mystery" leftover race shirt from a previous event. The eco-friendly fun continues all the way to the finish line—once you cross, you will get to hand-pick your favorite finisher medal from a curated collection of past events. It is a brilliant, practical way to give great gear a second life, eliminate manufacturing waste, and pass the massive financial savings directly down to the runners.

​While the event heavily focuses on sustainability, it doesn't skimp on the competitive race day experience. The 5K will be professionally chip-timed by Victory Sports Management to guarantee accurate, real-time results, with awards proudly presented to the top three overall finishers as well as individual age groups. After you crush your 3.1 miles, the finish line turns into a full-blown eco-celebration filled with high-energy dancing, great music, and unforgettable community spirit.
