Walk in My Shoes 2026 - Homestead

Lace up your shoes for the Walk in My Shoes 2026 - Homestead, a meaningful 4-mile walk taking place on Thursday, April 2, 2026, in scenic Homestead, Florida. This event, hosted by the Lauren's Kids foundation, is more than just a walk; it's a vital part of a 1,500-mile journey across Florida, dedicated to raising awareness for National Sexual Assault Awareness Month and National Child Abuse Prevention Month. Every step you take contributes to the fight to prevent child sexual abuse and supports survivors on their healing journey.

The walk begins and ends at JD Redd Park, located at 550 N Homestead Blvd. Participants will embark on a 2-mile route to The Healing Sanctuary, where a refreshing water break awaits. From there, you have the option to conclude your walk or continue for the full 4-mile loop back to JD Redd Park for a celebratory finish. To ensure a comfortable experience, an Uber code will be provided for those who choose to return from the 2-mile mark. Typical race day conditions in early April in Homestead offer pleasant weather, with highs around 84°F and lows around 61°F, and only an 8% chance of precipitation.

Registration for this impactful event kicks off at 11:00 AM, with the walk commencing at 12:00 PM. All participants will receive a commemorative t-shirt and a drawstring backpack, making for a memorable experience that supports a crucial cause.
