This March, during World Kidney Month, we’re coming together on the shorelines of Cocoa Beach, FL to leave more than footprints — we’re leaving impact.
Kidney disease affects 1 in 7 adults (90% don't know they have it.) Awareness changes outcomes. Early detection saves lives. Community creates strength.
*** Consider "Becoming a Fundraiser" and help us raise funds and have your event fee WAIVED! ***
Footprints of Impact is a fundraising and awareness walk hosted by The Enlisted Kidney Foundation. Join us and build local visibility for kidney health and support patients that navigate chronic kidney disease, dialysis, and transplant.
Every step represents:
• Someone living with kidney disease
• A transplant recipient
• A living donor
• A veteran impacted by toxic exposure
• A caregiver standing beside a loved one
• A life remembered
FilterLIFE isn’t just something we say-it's how we live daily and represents resilience, strength, and showing up for one another in the kidney community.
When you register and fundraise, you help support:
• Early detection.
• Direct patient mentorship.
• Veteran-centered navigation.
• Real-world community education.
• Policy and research advocacy driven by lived experience.

WE ARE NOW OFFERING AN AQUABIKE DIVISION!
The Ron Jon Cocoa Beach Triathlon has established itself as a fun and challenging event and as one of Coastal Florida’s favorite early season triathlons.
Always held the second weekend of April, our event draws a good mixture of Floridians and triathletes from more northern states anxious to escape the cold and get in a springtime race.
Our event is an enjoyable one for established athletes, but has proven itself as a great test for first time triathletes. We have twice been a “Best First Timer’s Race” national finalist in the Triathlon Business International annual awards.
Duathlon Information: 1 MILE RUN + 12.5 MILE BIKE + 5K RUN
Aquabike Information: 0.25 MILE SWIM + 12 MILE BIKE RIDE

Celebrating the shuttle program
Coinciding with the 14th Annual Cocoa Beach Triathlon, this run takes place along the cart path and on the hard-packed fairways of the Cocoa Beach Golf Course.
Runners will be greeted with beautiful vistas and sweeping views of the Banana River and bird life before coming across the same finish line as triathletes will pass through just minutes later. All finishers will receive an official event shirt, along with the striking medal.
Because the Shuttleversary 5k coincides with the Cocoa Beach Triathlon, the field of entrants will be limited to just 200 entrants.
Enter soon to guarantee your spot in this historic race and stick around to socially distance cheer on our triathletes as they come across the finish line!
