Teen Mission Fall Fun Run

Teen Mission Fall Fun Run takes place in Merritt Island, Florida, in Brevard County, on November 14, 2026. The event is built around a 5K mud run (3.1 miles) that starts at 7:45 AM, with a 3K version following at 9:45 AM for those who want a shorter dose of the same experience. Whether you are a seasoned runner or just want a day out with friends, the event is designed around having fun and staying active.

A mud run is not a race you prepare for like a road 5K. The distance is short, but wet, uneven ground makes it feel longer, so expect your pace to be well off your usual 5K time and plan accordingly. Wear shoes you do not mind ruining, pack a change of clothes and a towel, and if you are new to this format, focus on building general fitness with a few weekly runs and some bodyweight strength work in the weeks beforehand. The 3K is a friendly option for younger participants or anyone easing into mud-run events.
