About the Steps For SOS 5K Run/Walk

The course runs through Tradewinds Park, a natural setting that keeps things easy underfoot and shaded in spots. The race benefits SOS Children's Villages Florida, supporting young people in foster care, so the crowd tends to include families and volunteers alongside runners.

The event fills out the morning with children's activities, food, music, and a sponsor showcase after the race wraps up. Packet pickup and parking details are still being confirmed closer to race day, so check back for those specifics before you head out.

How competitive is the Steps For SOS 5K Run/Walk?
