The South Florida First Responders Foundation, Heroes Run! 10K • 5K • 1 Mile Run
About this race
The South Florida First Responders Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is proud to host a community benefit race dedicated to supporting the mental health of South Florida's First Responders.
Every day, South Florida’s first responders and stand at the forefront of our community’s toughest moments, carrying burdens most of us will never see. Their courage is visible; their silent battles—the stress, trauma, and emotional toll that linger long after the sirens fade—often are not.
The Heroes Run, hosted by South Florida First Responders Foundation, Inc., 501(c)(3), is more than a race—it’s a lifeline. On November 28th, 2026, in Pompano Beach, Florida, we will come together to honor those who give so much and to raise critical funds for organizations providing essential mental health services for first responders and their families.
Your participation helps us heal the healers, support the protectors, and show these heroes they are never alone. Together, we can turn gratitude into action and empathy into a movement—powered by the courageous spirits of the men and women who keep our community safe.
This event will feature a Fun Run, 1-Mile, 5K, and 10K race, all course distances will be certified. We will be welcoming runners, walkers, and spectators from across the region. Participants will include members of our local running community as well as First Responders from Police, Fire Rescue, Ocean Rescue, Military, and more.
