The 2026 Heroes Run Finishers Medals are here!!!
We are happy to announce the 2026 Heroes Run course change!
The 5k and 10k run will start at the base of the pier on Pompano Beach Blvd. The course will be a one loop course for the 5k, and 2 loops for the 10k. Runners racing the 10k will turn left (west) on NE 2nd St, a block before the finish line, and then right (north) on A1A for the second loop. This eliminates the turn near the start and finish in the 2025 run, and should make for a speedy sprint finish! Please check out the course maps!

The Heroes Run isn’t just a race.

See you at the starting line.
About Us
The Heroes Run is a community based benefit race, with all proceeds donated to local non profits dedicated to supporting the mental health of South Florida's First Responders.
Every day, South Florida’s first responders and stand at the forefront of our community’s toughest moments, carrying burdens most of us will never see. Their courage is visible; their silent battles—the stress, trauma, and emotional toll that linger long after the sirens fade—often are not.
The Heroes Run, is more than a race—it’s a lifeline. On November 28th, 2026, in Pompano Beach, Florida, we will come together to honor those who give so much and to raise critical funds for organizations providing essential mental health services for first responders and their families.
Your participation helps us heal the healers, support the protectors, and show these heroes they are never alone. Together, we can turn gratitude into action and empathy into a movement—powered by the courageous spirits of the men and women who keep our community safe.
This event will feature a 5K and 10K race, a 1 Mile Fun Run , and a Free Community Kids Run. The 5k and 10k course distances will be certified. We will be welcoming runners, walkers, and spectators from across the region. Participants will include members of our local running community as well as First Responders from Police, Fire Rescue, Ocean Rescue, Military, and more.
All proceeds will be donated to the following 501(c)3 non profit organizations:
South Florida First Responders Foundation
Stomping Out the Stigma – Provides free, confidential mental health counseling for First Responders and Military Personnel. No names, no insurance, no reports—just help.
First Responders Foundation (Florida Chapter) – Rescues and Trains shelter dogs to become Service Animals for First Responders in need.

All of these organizations directly assist First Responders and their families during times of hardship and crisis.
