🎭Costume contest, DJ, food, drinks & nonstop fun

Every step we take honors Rhonda’s commitment to Fitness, Education and Fellowship—and every registration helps fund a scholarship for a local female athlete through the Take Stock In Children - Monroe County program. Her legacy keeps moving forward because our community shows up with heart.

The run begins and ends near the Ingham Ship, following 3 loops of the promenade at the beautiful Truman Waterfront where there is plenty of room to move and lots for kids to enjoy at the playground and splash park.

Every registered runner receives a swag bag filled with goodies from our incredible sponsors. You will also automatically be entered into a draw to win a fabulous prize!

 Stick around after the race for an exciting fiesta after-party and music by DJ Jimmy Jamz!

#RunForRhonda #FiestaFun

Our Mission

Last year, thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, Run for Rhonda donated $25,000 to a local student through the Take Stock in Children (TSiC) program. This contribution, matched by TSiC funds, provided this Keys student with a full four-year scholarship and two years of dorm costs. Our mission is to continue Rhonda's legacy by offering another Rhonda Flores Memorial Scholarship this year, and we need your support to make this possible.

We are seeking sponsors who share our commitment to making a positive impact in our community.  There are several amazing sponsorship opportunities available.  For more information visit http://runforrhonda.com
