MLK5K
All of South Florida is invited to join us for our third annual race celebrating the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In our inaugural year, 2022, a diverse crowd of nearly 300 men, women and children of all ages came together to chase Dr. King’s dream of equality, good health, and economic equity. As was the case last year, this event has something for nearly everyone who can walk or run including kids races, 1-mile, 5k and 10k races. Participants, sponsors and exhibitors will be once again joining forces to share their passions for unity, improved health outcomes and support for small local minority-owned businesses.
A portion of proceeds from this event will be used to offset the costs for participants looking to improve their health, but are not able to cover the full costs of registration. Net proceeds also help provide educational programs as well as other resources to small minority-owned businesses in Palm Beach County through the efforts of the volunteers of two nonprofit organizations, the Black Chamber of Commerce of Palm Beach County and the Equity Entrepreneur Center. We invite you to visit the Black Chamber of Palm Beach County’s website at www.blackchamberpbc.com.
