Celebrating 29 years, the Vilano Bridge Run invites runners and families to enjoy scenic, officially timed 5K and 10K courses beginning at the Vilano Beach Community Center and Park. Both the 5K and 10K routes wind through the picturesque Vilano Beach community, crossing the iconic Vilano Bridge with sweeping views of the Intracoastal Waterway and surrounding beaches. The 10K course continues through the beautiful grounds of the Florida School for the Deaf & Blind campus.

All races conclude at North Shores Community Park, where participants can enjoy a lively post-race celebration featuring food, music, and community fun. Age-group awards will be presented, and medals will be awarded to all 5K and 10K finishers. Runners will also receive snacks and drinks after the race. Colorful T-shirts are guaranteed for those who register by March 8th. Immediately following the 5K is the 1-Mile Fun Run, with medals for all finishers.

The celebration continues with a “Party in the Park,” offering music, food and items for purchase, plus games and activities for kids. Families are warmly welcome to join the fun.

This community event supports North Shores community projects and donates a portion of the registration proceeds to the Florida School for the Deaf & Blind.
