Lace up for an inspiring journey at the Chris Hixon Memorial Run/Walk, taking place on February 21, 2026, in sunny Hollywood, Florida. This impactful 5K event, which also offers a Stroller 5K and Kids Fun Run, invites participants to celebrate the enduring legacy of Chris Hixon, a revered coach, father, and U.S. Navy veteran whose courageous actions at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School touched countless lives.

Runners and walkers will enjoy a scenic route along the picturesque Hollywood Beach Boardwalk, promising flat terrain and beautiful ocean views as you honor a true hero. Starting and finishing at Charnow Park, the event kicks off at 7:00 AM, making for a pleasant morning experience.

Each stride taken contributes directly to the Chris Hixon Athletic Scholarship Foundation, empowering student-athletes at the schools where Chris made a significant difference. All finishers receive a commemorative medal, a tangible reminder of their participation in this uplifting community event filled with camaraderie and inspiration.
