Pirate Plunder 2 Miler

Supporting Our Community through Fitness

 

The founders of Running Zone, Don and Denise Piercy, organized numerous running and walking events in Brevard County since 2003 and donated proceeds from these events to various nonprofit organizations.

In September 2008, Don and Denise established Running Zone Foundation, Inc. to formalize their commitment to health and fitness programs in Brevard County. In 2020, Running Zone Foundation expanded into Indian River County and is now offering 16 events in both counties.

The Foundation was established as a 501 (c) (3) organization with the purpose to promote exercise and fitness and give back to local organizations. Today, it consists of 7 events in the Run Brevard Race Series, 4 events in Indian River County, Brevard Corporate 5K, Space Coast Shamrock Shuffle 5K, Space Coast Turkey Trot 5K, Running Wild 5K, as well as 2 longer distance events with the Space Coast Marathon & Half Marathon and the Vero Beach Half Marathon & Sea Turtle 2 Miler.  
 
Running Zone Foundation’s charter is to promote and encourage health and fitness in our community through running, jogging, walking and related educational programs and publications.
