Lace up your running shoes for The Phrozen Jewel Run 5/10K, an impactful and engaging event held in beautiful Orlando, FL. On June 13, 2026, runners and walkers of all skill levels are invited to Jay Blanchard Park to participate in either a 10K, 5K, or a fun 0.25-mile Kiddie Dash. For those unable to join in person, a virtual option is available from June 6th to June 13th, 2026. This popular 8th annual race is more than just a run; it's a vital fundraiser for the I.S. Hankins F.A. Johnson Education Foundation, Inc. and the Delta Xi Lambda chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc., directly benefiting the Young Men of Distinction (YMOD) mentoring program, which has provided over $385,000 in scholarships and supported more than 400 young men.

The in-person experience at Jay Blanchard Park promises a fantastic day of fitness and community spirit, kicking off with registration opening at 6:45 AM and a lively Zumba warm-up at 7:30 AM before the 5K starts at 7:45 AM. The course, set within the scenic park, offers a generally flat and accessible route perfect for personal bests or a leisurely stroll. Typical race day conditions in early June can see highs around 91F and lows around 73F, with a 24% chance of precipitation, so prepare for a warm, humid Orlando morning. All participants receive a commemorative race t-shirt and medal, with custom awards presented to the top three overall in-person men and women, as well as age group winners. Your participation ensures the continued success of a program dedicated to developing academic, social, personal, and leadership skills in young men.
