Red Bull Chancleta Run

A head-to-head obstacle race in flip-flops brings a dose of humor and hometown pride to Hialeah Park Casino. Designed as a participatory highlight of 305 DAY®, Red Bull Chancleta Run challenges competitors to sprint, shuffle and swing their way through a Miami-inspired course — all while wearing chancletas.

The event takes place Saturday, March 7 at Hialeah Park Casino as part of the 305 DAY® Community Festival 2026.

Open to all ages and free to attend, the competition pits participants against one another in elimination-style heats, with the fastest racers advancing to the semifinals and final showdown. The course features themed challenges including the Club Line Shuffle through stanchion barriers, a weighted Cooler Carry, a balance test over “Flamingo Lake,” foam flip-flops flying across the lane, a chancleta toss “Por La Window,” and a monkey bar crossing over “Alligator Alley.”

Participant check-in begins at 4 p.m., with qualifying heats running through the evening before the Top 8 showdown and final race. The event is capped at 120 competitors on a first-come, first-served basis, with registration opening February 5 and closing once capacity is reached.

Spectators are welcome to cheer on racers as part of the larger 305 DAY® festival, which features live music, DJs, local vendors, food trucks and family-friendly activities celebrating Miami’s culture and community. Food and beverages will be available for purchase, with alcohol limited to guests 21 and older with valid ID.
