Organiser's Description

Join us on Saturday, January 31st 2026 for the 17th Annual Wolfson Children's Challenge. This years event will take place at the Winston YMCA. Weve made some exciting changes to the course to make it more inclusive - only featuring a 5k and a 1-mile.

MISSION MOMENT: A special moment to connect with our mission, as the route passes by the hospital's front entrance (patients and team members watch from the windows!).

TEAM ELEMENT REFINED: Teams will run together, rather than in separate legs. Each individual's time is considered when calculating the team's overall time to foster more unity, and let's face it, it's more fun to run side-by-side with your friends.

SCENIC ROUTE: The 5k will go over the Acosta and Fuller Warren Bridges, along the St. Johns River.

PRICES: Registration price will increase each month.
