5th Annual Run for the Cherubs 5K & Walk benefiting Orlando Health Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies

Lace up your shoes for a truly meaningful experience at the 5th Annual Run for the Cherubs 5K & Walk, taking place on Saturday, February 7, 2026, in the scenic Lakefront Park of St. Cloud, FL. This uplifting event offers a 3.1-mile (5K) journey for both runners and walkers, designed to honor the memory of children and support bereaved families. The course itself is USATF Certified, promising an accurately measured route through the beautiful Lakefront Park, with a special moment at Mile Marker 2 featuring Graham's Memorial Bench and a bagpiper.

This race stands out for its heartfelt mission: 100% of race proceeds directly benefit the Orlando Health Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies, contributing to vital neonatal research and providing crucial support to families experiencing child loss. Hosted by the Graham J. Cowan Foundation, the event embodies hope and strength, fostering a powerful sense of community. Participants can expect a professionally chip-timed event with live online results, receiving a commemorative t-shirt and a die-cast finisher medal as a token of their participation and support.

Join fellow runners and walkers in an atmosphere described as "amazing" by past participants, all coming together for a cause that makes a tangible difference. With typical race day conditions in early February bringing comfortable highs around 74F and lows around 52F, and only a 10% chance of precipitation, it's ideal weather for a memorable morning run or walk. Registration and packet pickup begin at 7:45 AM at Lakefront Park, with opening ceremonies around 8:10 AM before the 5K and walk kick off at approximately 8:30 AM.
