5K for Foster Kids

In the state of Florida, more than 1,000 children each month are removed from their homes and placed in the child welfare system. While not everyone is called to foster or adopt, we believe we can all play a part in helping children and families in need. That’s why we’re personally inviting you to join us for our 5K for Foster Kids race!


When:
May 18, 2024
7:30 a.m.

Where:
Gadsden Park
6901 S. MacDill Ave.
Tampa, FL 33611

All Pro Dad is partnering with the Florida Department of Children and Families to celebrate Foster Care Awareness Month in May. You can do your part to raise awareness by participating in our 5K or family fun run.

Registration for the 5K chipped timed event is $15. Registration includes a Dri-FIT event t-shirt, custom finisher medal, personalized race bib with RFID timing chip, awards for top 3 overall and age groups, and a copy of Tony and Lauren Dungy’s book We Chose You.

8:30 a.m. – Kids 100 Yard Dash Fun Fun

Are strollers allowed?
Yes, but they will start at the back of the pack, so they do not cause anyone to trip at the start.

Are animals allowed?
Animals are permitted at the event but not on the 5K course. The paths are not wide enough for dog leashes to be extended without potentially being a trip hazard.

Is there a map of the race that we can post?
See map above.

How many hydration stations will there be?
Two on the course and one at the finish line.
