The South Florida First Responders Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is proud to host a community benefit race dedicated to supporting the mental health of South Florida's First Responders.
Every day, South Florida’s first responders and stand at the forefront of our community’s toughest moments, carrying burdens most of us will never see. Their courage is visible; their silent battles—the stress, trauma, and emotional toll that linger long after the sirens fade—often are not.
The Heroes Run, hosted by South Florida First Responders Foundation, Inc., 501(c)(3), is more than a race—it’s a lifeline. On November 28th, 2026, in Pompano Beach, Florida, we will come together to honor those who give so much and to raise critical funds for organizations providing essential mental health services for first responders and their families.
Your participation helps us heal the healers, support the protectors, and show these heroes they are never alone. Together, we can turn gratitude into action and empathy into a movement—powered by the courageous spirits of the men and women who keep our community safe.
This event will feature a Fun Run, 1-Mile, 5K, and 10K race, all course distances will be certified. We will be welcoming runners, walkers, and spectators from across the region. Participants will include members of our local running community as well as First Responders from Police, Fire Rescue, Ocean Rescue, Military, and more.
Where the Proceeds Go
All proceeds will be donated to:
Stomping Out the Stigma – Provides free, confidential mental health counseling for First Responders and Military Personnel. No names, no insurance, no reports—just help.
First Responders Foundation (Florida Chapter) – Rescues and Trains shelter dogs to become Service Animals for First Responders in need.
The Broward County Sheriff's Foundation
Pompano Beach Fire Rescue Benevolent Association
Pompano Beach Ocean Rescue Benevolent Association
All of these organizations directly assist First Responders and their families during times of hardship and crisis.
