Runners and walkers braved the rays to get their steps in at the 2026 Sombrero Beach Run on Feb. 28. Living up to its motto of “come for the run, stay for the sun,” entrants enjoyed back-to-back 10K, 5K and kids’ fun run events, with some braving the 15K challenge by running both races consecutively.

Sponsored by the Key West Southernmost Runners, proceeds from the annual race support Keys Area Interdenominational Resources, a Marathon-based nonprofit organization that provides food pantry, housing assistance, emergency and relocation support among other services.
