MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — South Florida residents were invited to lace up their sneakers Saturday to support a meaningful cause as Amigos For Kids hosts its second annual Heart & Sole 5K Walk–Jog–Run at Zoo Miami.
The Miami-based nonprofit, which works to strengthen families and educate communities to support safe and healthy childhoods, says the event is about more than just crossing a finish line.
Organizers describe the Heart & Sole 5K as a celebration of “community, connection, and commitment” to children and families, bringing together runners, walkers, supporters and community partners for a shared purpose.
Participants who take part in the race help support programs designed to “empower parents, nurture children and build brighter futures for families” across Miami-Dade County.
Proceeds from the race benefit Amigos For Kids’ programs focused on strengthening families, educating communities and ensuring children feel “valued, safe and protected.” Organizers say each “registration, donation and step taken” helps move closer to “a future where no child suffers in silence.”
The family-friendly event welcomes individuals, teams, corporate partners and community advocates who want to walk, jog or run while supporting a cause that uplifts children and families.
