Sunflower 5K Run and Walk (Helping Orphans)

Join Us for the Sunflower 5K Walk/Run!

Mark your calendars for Sunday, February 1, 2026, and be part of The Sunflower Run, a 5K run/walk hosted at Markham Woods Church. This fun and family-friendly event brings our community together to support a vital cause—helping children in Ukraine who have lost their parents during the war. All proceeds will go directly to supporting these children.

Event Highlights:

• Registration begins at 8:00 AM (includes bib and giveaways).
• Run/walk starts at 9:00 AM, with a scenic route along the Seminole Wekiva Trail.
• Post-run festivities: delicious food, games, and activities for all ages!
• Registration Fee: $30 per participant (proceeds support Ukrainian children).
• Registration Fee for children under 13 is $10. 

Special Offer:

The first 100 people who sign up will receive a branded Sunflower 5K Run t-shirt, based on the availability of sizes. You will be notified if you are one of the first 100 registrants, and you will be able to pick up your t-shirt at the race.

Only those who register before January 20 will receive medals after the run.
