Running for Children's Rights to Both Parents - 13 of 50 Half Marathons in 50 States - Florida

Event Overview

This is a virtual race open to supporters across the country who want to take action for children and families. Participants can run, walk, or move in their own community while supporting a national mission to protect children’s relationships with both parents.

Race Series Information

This race is part of a larger effort to run 50 half marathons in 50 states, completing one race each month. Each run is dedicated to raising awareness about:

• Parental Alienation: Issues impacting family relationships.
• Family Court Practices: How these practices separate children from a loving parent.
• Access to Parents: The urgent need for children to have reasonable access to both parents.

Impact of Parental Alienation

Parental alienation and unnecessary parent-child separation cause long-term emotional, psychological, and developmental harm. This run exists to bring visibility to that harm and to advocate for fair, child-focused family court outcomes.
