18th Annual UNCF 5K Run/Walk for Education – Orlando
ARE YOU READY TO RUN, WALK, FUNDRAISE, AND CHANGE LIVES?
LACE UP for the 18th Annual UNCF Orlando 5K Run/Walk for Education on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at Blue Jacket Park!
This year, we’re challenging the Orlando community to help us raise $100,000 to support scholarships, student success programs, and educational opportunities that help students get to and through college.
The UNCF 5K Run/Walk for Education is more than a race—it’s a movement. Every dollar raised helps UNCF provide scholarships, internships, mentoring, and other critical resources that empower the next generation of leaders.
Whether you’re participating as an individual, creating a team with your company, church, school, fraternity, sorority, alumni chapter, employee resource group, family, or friends, your involvement helps create opportunities for deserving students and strengthens our community.
Join runners, walkers, students, educators, corporate partners, and community leaders for a morning filled with energy, purpose, fundraising challenges, team spirit, prizes, vendors, entertainment, and family-friendly fun.
OUR GOAL: $100,000
Every participant has the power to make a difference:
- Register for the 5K Run/Walk
- Start or join a fundraising team
- Invite family, friends, and coworkers to support your efforts
Help us reach our goal and change lives through education
One Community. One Mission. $100,000 for Students.
