The first annual “Run for Sweet Caroline” will be held on April 19, 2026 in honor of beloved wife, mother and friend Caroline Rhine who passed away from a rare cancer called leiomyosarcoma on November 6, 2024. Thanks to generous donations from our sponsors to cover the cost of the event, 100% of the funds raised from registration fees and additional donations will go to support Sarcoma Awareness, Patient Education and Assistance, and Sarcoma Research through organizations like the Sarcoma Alliance, The Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and the Leiomyosarcoma Support & Direct Research Foundation.

You will note the theme of sunflowers throughout the Run for Sweet Caroline. The sunflower has been the symbol of Sarcoma Awareness for nearly 20 years, and serves as a reminder to those affected by these cancers that there is hope for a brighter future. Sunflowers stand strong and tall, reflecting the sun’s light and always holding their heads high, even through adversity. Anyone who knew Caroline and saw how she lived her life with Sarcoma knows this quote captures her spirit perfectly.

Sign up as an individual participant or start a team and invite friends, family, colleagues, etc to participate and compete with other teams for top fundraising / top race performance honors.

National Anthem: 7:15am *** 5K Run/Walk starts 7:30am *** 1 Mile Run/Walk will start at 8:30am.

Timing by Accuchip Timing

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to break the stigma surrounding mental health and emphasize the importance of well-being. At Recovery Through Repetition (RTR), we recognize the deep connection between mental health, recovery, and movement. Inspired by this, we are proud to host the 2nd Annual RTR 5K for Recovery, an event dedicated to Shining a Light on Mental Health by raising funds and awareness for those in recovery while promoting the mental and physical benefits of fitness.

RTR is a nonprofit organization that provides a safe and supportive space for individuals affected by addiction, offering fitness classes, community involvement opportunities, and scholarships for career development. We believe that movement is medicine—not just for the body, but also for the mind and spirit. Through this 5K, we aim to inspire individuals to prioritize both their mental and physical well-being while supporting those on their journey to recovery.

The 2nd annual RTR 5K for Recovery will be a powerful event, bringing together runners, walkers, and supporters who share our belief in the power of fitness, fellowship, and service.

The Sleep In Option is for those of you who want to support the event but can't attend the actual event! Your shirt and finisher medal will be mailed to you! It's the honor system to do the 5k at some point. This option is not eligible for awards! You don't need to submit your time.
