The course

From the organizer

The 321 Island Strong 5K is more than a race—it’s a run for our community. Join neighbors, families, runners, and walkers as we come together to support the brave men and women of the Merritt Island Volunteer Fire Department.

This event raises funds to help equip, support, and strengthen the volunteers who selflessly serve and keep our island safe. From emergency response to community care, their commitment makes a lasting impact on all of us.

Whether you’re running for a personal best, walking with friends, or cheering from the sidelines, every step you take helps ensure our firefighters have the resources they need to continue serving with excellence. Lace up, show up, and stand with those who serve. Together, we are 321 Island Strong.
