WHAT MAKES THIS RACE UNIQUE
- You run in memory of "Bre-Bre" — for pediatric heart health. The race is presented by The Breanna Vergara Foundation, a non-profit created in memory of 11-year-old Breanna "Bre-Bre" Vergara and dedicated to advocating for pediatric heart health. Every dollar funds awareness and early detection of heart conditions in children. You're not running for a tee. You're running so a kid's heart gets checked.
- A USATF-certified 5K through Miami Lakes' tree-lined streets. Real timing, real course, real awards. Top finishers recognized at the awards ceremony. Whether you're chasing a PR or just showing up for Bre-Bre, the course delivers.
- The 1-Mile Color Run is the family hook. After the timed 5K, the 1-Mile Color Run kicks off at 9 AM — vibrant colors, smiles, and the kind of memories families actually keep. Bring the kids, bring the friends. Everyone runs.
