Little Haiti Heritage 5K Run and Walk

Community members will trace a path through one of Miami's most culturally rich neighborhoods during an early morning celebration of Haitian heritage and fitness. The 2nd Annual Little Haiti Heritage 5K Run + Walk takes place Saturday, May 3, beginning and ending at Lakou Miami.

This inclusive event welcomes participants of all fitness levels to experience the history and culture of Little Haiti while joining the Running Edge 305 community. Beyond the physical activity, the gathering includes a post-run celebration with music, food and fellowship.

The day's schedule features check-in at 6:30 a.m., warm-up and stretches at 7:00 a.m., race start at 7:30 a.m., followed by cool-down yoga at 8:30 a.m. and a community kickback at 9:00 a.m. The event concludes with a closing message at 10:00 a.m.

Occurring during Haitian Heritage Month, the event supports broader community initiatives. Proceeds benefit youth running programs and poverty reduction efforts in Miami, while organizers have partnered with Men Beni to provide meals for over 500 homeless residents throughout May.
