Honor Our Heroes 5k Memorial Run
About this race
We are very proud to announce the 10th Annual Honor Our Heroes 5k Memorial Run!
Oldsmar Cares is a for-impact 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that operates solely on the support of volunteers and donors. Serving the local community since 1997, we offer assistance as a food pantry, clothing closet, and other essentials, such as temporary rent and utility assistance, to those facing difficult times while keeping families together.
On Saturday, 23 May 2026, and in recognition of Memorial Day, we continue our collaboration and veteran outreach with the All-American VFW Post 12186 here in Oldsmar. Our two distinguished nonprofit organizations are a 100% all-volunteer force. We are working together to build a better community, and all net proceeds from the event will support our efforts to serve residents, families, veterans, and community projects.
This year, along with a fantastic lineup of sponsors and vendors, we welcome back Tampa Bay Brewing Company (TBBC) and Three Brothers NY Pizza to help expand our afterparty menu! You won't want to miss it.
The Race: The opening ceremonies will begin at 7:00 am near Oldsmar City Hall. The race will start at 7:15 am, and the participants will be led down past the Veterans Memorial Park and along the beautiful waters of upper Tampa Bay.
This 5k (3.1 miles) is designed for everyone from competitive runners to casual joggers, pet walkers, and even some pushing their strollers. The finish line will greet our finishers with beverages and food for everyone.
