About the Run For The Everglades 5k
The race runs through Burt Aaronson South County Regional Park, a large green space that fits the conservation theme well. The park setting keeps things grounded in the natural landscape the event exists to protect.
The race benefits the Everglades Foundation, which works on restoration and protection of the Everglades. It draws American Heritage families and neighbors alongside runners from the broader community, so the atmosphere around the start and finish reflects that mix.
