Race Course
Get ready to run to the rhythm at the inaugural Beats at The Block 5K! This unique, DJ-led race begins and ends at The Block in Jacksonville, Florida, taking participants on a high-energy loop course along Gate Parkway.
From the moment the starting horn sounds, runners and walkers will be immersed in a moving soundtrack as DJ Elby XO leads the way, mixing upbeat tracks from a custom DJ booth mounted on a trailer pulled by bike. The music moves with the field, creating an unforgettable race experience that keeps the energy high from start to finish.
The flat, fast 5K course travels along Gate Parkway before turning onto Burnt Mill and heading back toward The Block for a lively finish line celebration. Whether you're chasing a personal record, enjoying a fun run with friends, or simply coming for the music and atmosphere, Beats at The Block offers a one-of-a-kind race experience for participants of all fitness levels.
The one mile race will be an out and back on Gate Parkway and get you right back to The Block to enjoy the festivities!
