Coastal Georgia NICU Warrior Run

Race Overview

Running for the Tiniest Fighters but the Biggest Warriors!

Some of the strongest warriors you'll ever meet weigh less than five pounds.

Every year, thousands of babies begin their lives in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), where every breath, every heartbeat, and every ounce gained is a victory! Behind each tiny fighter is a family experiencing one of the most challenging journeys of their lives. The Coastal Georgia NICU Warrior Run was inspired by the incredible resilience of babies who begin life fighting in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. It is a celebration of hope, courage, and the unwavering love of families who face one of life's most difficult journeys.

Event Purpose

This event is dedicated to:

• Every NICU warrior: Who has overcome impossible odds.
• Every family: Whose strength never wavered.
• Every healthcare professional: Who gave compassionate care.
• Every angel baby: Who will forever be remembered.

Whether you run, walk, volunteer, or cheer from the sidelines, your participation helps raise awareness and support initiatives that benefit NICU families throughout Coastal Georgia. Together, we honor the smallest fighters with the biggest hearts.
