Kennedy Kids Foundation 4th Annual 5K & 8K!

Come join us for our annual 5K Run with the addition of our new 8K! Presented by (Title Sponsor Pending) and hosted at Barry University in Miami Shores! It’s the very neighborhood where our dear Kennedy Bailey grew up and made friends. This 5K/8K RUN is open to all families, age groups, and abilities. We’ll be using real-time chip tracking technology from our amazing partner Split Second Timing & Wildside to monitor all results and standings. Cash prizes for the 1st place male and female athlete! 1st, 2nd and 3rd placed male and female medals in each age division! Post-race party for all! This race was the brainchild of Sienna Alvarez-Coia, a childhood friend of Kennedy’s who wanted to create this race in her honor. Sadly, Kennedy struggled with depression due to a mental health crisis and passed away on Thursday, September 15, 2022. In her memory, our Kennedy Kids Foundation is dedicated to crowdfunding, fundraising, and developing programs and initiatives to prevent youth suicide. We’re focused on mental health and education, increased help-seeking behavior, and equitable access to care. Our goal is to end this tragic epidemic and save lives. Will you join us in supporting mental health awareness and suicide prevention among teens? Can't make it on the 13th, then sign up for our Virtual Race Option, all are welcome.
