Cloud cover rewarded racers in the 18th annual Sombrero Beach Run with just enough of a break from the sunshine and heat on Feb. 22. The cooler weather paid dividends on the leaderboards, with top times for the 5K, 10K and 15K races eclipsing 2024’s top finishers.
Held in February, the yearly event sponsored by the Key West Southernmost Runners invites walkers and runners to “come for the run and stay for the sun.” Proceeds from the weekend benefit Keys Area Interdenominational Resources, a Marathon-based nonprofit organization that provides food pantry, housing assistance, emergency and relocation support among other services.
