Dr. Myron L. Rolle Pediatric Gun Safety 5K

Lace up your shoes for a cause that truly matters at the inaugural Dr. Myron L. Rolle Pediatric Gun Safety 5K Walk/Run, taking place on Saturday, May 30, 2026, in beautiful Orlando, FL. This event is more than just a race; it's a powerful call to action aimed at addressing the critical public health crisis of pediatric gun safety. Participants will join together to raise awareness, educate families, and promote safe practices to protect children, recognizing that unintentional firearm injuries are a leading cause of death among youth. Whether you choose to walk, jog, or sprint, every step you take contributes to a vital mission, fostering a sense of purpose, celebration, and connection within the community.

The 5K road course is set within the scenic Lake Nona Region of Orlando, offering a generally flat and accessible route for all participants. While specific elevation details are typical for a road race of this distance, runners can expect a smooth journey through this modern Orlando community. Typical race day conditions in late May in Orlando bring highs around 90F and lows around 71F, with about a 22% chance of precipitation, so runners should prepare for warm and potentially humid weather.

This event stands out as an opportunity to be part of something bigger, directly contributing to the success of pediatric gun safety initiatives. As an inaugural race, it offers a fresh and impactful way to engage with the community and support a crucial cause. Participants can even receive a $20 refund on their registration by referring five friends to join the movement.
