\"\"<\/p>\n

Miami Dade College\u2019s (MDC) Wolfson Campus will once again take the lead in raising awareness about homelessness as it transforms into a one-of-a-kind racetrack for compassion and community action. On Friday, November 6, Homeless Awareness Day 2026, the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust \u201cSprint for Seniors\u201d Bed Race returns to downtown Miami \u2014 reminding the community that one out of every four individuals entering the homeless system in Miami-Dade is over the age of 55, making older adults the fastest-growing homeless population in Miami-Dade. Media is welcome.<\/p>\n

Organized by the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust, hosted by Miami Dade College and supported by generous donors, the high-spirited event will feature 30 teams of college students, professionals, community groups, and seniors competing in decorated, wheeled beds along MDC Wolfson Campus\u2019 Kyriakides Plaza. Participants are encouraged to have fun, be creative, and race for a cause that hits close to home. Registration is open through October 31 or until all slots are full.\u00a0 Register here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Proceeds from\u00a0Sprint for Seniors\u00a0will benefit the Ending Homelessness Fund<\/a>, help unhoused senior citizens weather hard times and move toward stability and care.<\/p>\n

As the heart of downtown Miami and a hub for civic engagement, Miami Dade College serves as the ideal stage for Homeless Awareness Day 2026, the nation\u2019s largest single-day, community-wide initiative dedicated to educating residents about homelessness and how they can be part of the solution. The Sprint for Seniors is one of dozens of events taking place that day across Miami-Dade County, uniting schools, thought leaders, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations in a shared effort to raise awareness and compassion for individuals and families experiencing homelessness.<\/p>\n
